33. The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judge.

35. I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
36. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was no more, Indeed I sought him, but he could not be found.
37. Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

39. But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

GOD KNOWS AND LOVE THE GODLY BUT NOT SO WITH THE UNGODLY….

19. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the day of famine they shall be satisfied.
20. But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
THE GODLY IS BLESSED BUT NOT SO WITH THE UNGODLY…..
Isaiah 3:10-11. Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11. Woe unto the wicked! It shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
THE GODLY LIVE LONG BUT NOT SO WITH THE UNGODLY…
Psalms 92:12 & 14. The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
14. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
Psalms 34:21. Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
THE GODLY AND THE UNGODLY SHALL BE REWARDED….
Revelations 22:11-12. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit He taketh away and every branch that beareth fruit He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. ( John 15:2) kjv. Having enumerated the suffering and the reward that awaits both the godly and the ungodly we owe ourselves the good pleasure of standing in the way of the godly so as to be rewarded with the daily benefits that comes from God alone. My humbly Prayer is that Our Lord my Father, help us to be faithful and stand Faithfull all the time.
May the Holy Spirit of God, heal us of every unrighteousness and help us to pursue godliness in all we do in Jesus name 🙏 Be Blessed as you Read Amen.
