Grace for your spirit 4-18-17

Grace for your spirit
Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore the hearts of the sons of men among them are given fully to do evil.  Ecclesiastes 8:11

How many times have we heard people say, "If what I am doing is evil, then why hasn't God punished me ?"  That reasoning is certainly not solid ground in determining our behavior.  Just because lightning doesn't strike us dead, does not mean things will be well with us.  We need to learn God's will, pattern our behavior after it, and enjoy the long term fruits of our reward.  May our behavior be based on love of Jesus and not on bolts of lightning.
