The Wicked Man Will Perish, The Righteous Are Delivered

This post is short. It is simply this:

(Psalm34:15-22  ESV)  (15) The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous and his ears toward their cry.  (16) The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.  (17) When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.  (18) The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.  (19) Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.  (20) He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken.  (21) Affliction will slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.  (22) The LORD redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.

If this is God’s Word, and it is, then all of these promises are true and unbreakable. Believe the Lord and you will never, ever end up being shamed because you did.

And for God, there is absolutely no difficulty in sorting out the righteous from the wicked.
