“Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;”– Pro. 2:14
Are non-believers dissatisfied with their lives? Are they empty or unhappy with their actions or thoughts? From what I see, most seem to be getting along just fine without Christ and don’t seem unhappy at all. How can this be? The Bible teaches that God looks at their hearts and says they “REJOICE IN DOING EVIL” and “DELIGHT IN PERVERSION AND WICKNESS”. They ARE happy in doing what God calls wrong, what is appalling to anyone with moral values, what is a dark blot on the soul of humanity.
The world has witnessed in America’s recent political realms the UNTHINKABLE DEPTH OF DERAVITY and inhuman wickedness beyond imagination. How could anyone with a heart support butchering babies or “letting” them just starve to death? Yet Senators vote proudly and Democrat candidates announce Presidential bids appealing to the basest action of inhuman monsters. They have mothers applaud their vile actions. They “rejoice” and “delight” in who can endorse the greatest evil.
We know the ultimate fate of such people. God’s Word is clear (whether one wants to believe it or not). So of the most vile and wicked we pray NOT for their sure-judgment in eternal hell, but for God’s grace to enlighten their hearts and minds before it is too late, bringing them to repentance from sin and faith in the Gospel of Christ.
It may be too late for our nation and a society that rewards calling good “evil” and then in turn labels what is evil as “good”. Mercy has limits and what is sown surely will be reaped. But while society spins into a death spiral, the message to the individual is still one of eternal hope and real joy in being united with Christ.
What those “happy” in endorsing evil and finding “delight” in all that is perverse and vile need to recognize is that this life is short. Judgment is certain. The laughter and clapping stops at the grave, and the screams and torments of eternal hell await. Come to Christ before the opportunity is gone. (Bob Griffin)
