Have you ever wondered why wicked people live long? I had asked a similar question some years ago. Why does God allow evil people to live? Why doesn’t the earth open up and swallow them? Why do we have to endure watching them do harm to people for a long time? What happens to the souls of the innocent people they harm? These questions are legitimate questions all of us ask all the time. However, God is not man and we don’t expect Him to think, act and payback like the way we would. In fact, scripture admonishes us that we have the mind of Christ (1Cor. 2:16). So, what will Jesus do? The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9). Is the Lord just slow in dealing with the wicked? 2 Peter 3:9 states that “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” Thus, the Lord has given us the opportunity to repent. God does not delight in seeing men perish in their sins. He wants all men to come to the saving knowledge of Christ. None is beyond redemption, none is beyond forgiveness, none is beyond salvation, none is too sinful that God cannot save. Instead of channeling our energy to wish evil to fall on evil people, let us rather pray for their salvation and look for opportunities to share with them the Gospel. Imagine how peaceful the world will be if everyone comes to repentance! The world is changing so fast and the things we see around us indicate that the end is near. We don’t want to leave our family and friends in a state of unawareness. Let’s be kind enough to pray for them and use every opportunity to share the love of God with them. If we refuse to pray and share God’s love with them, they will perish and we might end up as the victims of their evil escapades. PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS (PUSH) The world needs our intercession now.
