31 Days In Proverbs -- Day 14

      There is a lot of evil in this world. Some evil deeds that are committed jump right out at us. I live in the United States, and this country has a tremendous amount of mass shootings. I can't think of much that is more evil that someone going in to a school, church or store and killing a group of innocent people. You want the perpetrator of such crimes to be punished. Any crime against a child is horrendous. Those who do these crimes need to be brought to justice. 

      There are many other evil things in this world. It is evil that children die from hunger and treatable diseases. It is evil that the poor are exploited by the rich. Racism is a pernicious evil. 

     Many of the perpetrators of evil deeds seem to go through life and nothing ever happens to them. They are never called to account for their crimes. Proverbs 11:2 lets us know that it will not always be that way. This verse tells us, "Evil people will surely be punished, but the children of the godly will go free."

     There will come a day of judgment. No evildoer will go unpunished. The Lord is keeping a record of those who have done evil on this earth. He will make sure that righteous justice is administered to all those who have harmed others during this life.
