The ANSWER to every complex question is often simple and wrong. This is one of such. However, there are perspectives and\u00a0 insights that help.<\/p>\n
*There is God’s nature to contend with here.<\/b>* Our God is not only a God of MERCY but of JUSTICE. *In His MERCY<\/b>* He causes rain to fall both on the wicked and the just (Matt.5:45).<\/p>\n
And *in His JUSTICE<\/b>*, He brings the wicked to account, making their seeming prosperity transient, a mere illusion.
\n*\u201cTruly, you put them on a slippery path and send them sliding over the cliff to destruction…”<\/b>*
\n(Psa. 73:18-19, NLT.)<\/p>\n
The Bible urges us never\u00a0to envy the wicked. “…For soon they fade away like grass and disappear. *Trust in the Lord instead. Be kind and good to others…”<\/b>*
\n(Proverbs 37:1-4, TLB)<\/p>\n
We live in a fallen, upside-down world, this creates a conducive environment for wickedness to thrive, not because God wants it, but because men gain from it.<\/p>\n
