Some people will say that they follow the Lord, but they no longer ask for His guidance. They desire to be free from living according to His righteousness; from obeying His Word. They secretly worship the sun, moon, and stars, and would rather ask those things to guide them. They think that the Lord will do nothing to them, either good or bad. They justify their life by saying, “Others are doing the same and no judgment has come to them.” No one can tell them anything about their lifestyles; for they refuse all correction.
So be warned, submit to God’s royal Son, or He will become angry, and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities.
There are those who believe the Lord, and He will count them as His righteous children. So how can I be sure that I will actually receive everything He has promised to those who follow Him? Because the Lord says that He sees me, therefore I can be sure! I have joy when I refuse to think like the world and refuse to follow the advice of the wicked. Because I delight in His word, meditating on it day and night, He watches over me with delight. I only need to ask, and He calms all my fears. I am convinced of His love for me.
Soon He will stand and accuse these evil people, and they will receive the wages of their pride, for they have scoffed at the Lord.
Therefore, His children need to be patient; for soon all of their troubles will be over, and they will never again fear disaster.
