“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Thursday; December 6, 2007

 

          Does it ever seem like life just isn’t fair?  The more we are around life it appears that those who take moral shortcuts or those who are able to put their consciences on hold seem to beat the system.  Without morals and values, it’s easy to take the low road and (seemingly) come out ahead.

          While it might appear that way through human eyes, the One who will judge us all has made a promise to us.  Thousands of years ago, God inspired one of His writers to note, “Do not fret because of evildoers, Or be envious of the wicked; for there will be no future for the evil man; The lamp of the wicked will be put out.”  (Proverbs 24:19-20).  The interesting thing about this passage is that God doesn’t set it within the context of time.  For a while, it might appear that people are hoodwinking fairness; but, one day, someday, they will receive justice.

          Let’s keep up our good work.  We may not seem to be making much headway in life; but, eventually, just like the tortoise who outran the hare, we’ll win the race. 

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
