EVIL PEOPLE

Psalm 10:4 (NIV) “In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.”

WICKED defined: 1) Evil by nature and in practice

Those people in the world that are evil make no quarter in their lives for the unseen God. They base their thoughts and practices on what they have been taught, thinking that they know better then all others. Or perhaps they have placed some idol on the alter of their heart. At any rate, they seek not the one true God and for that suffer without even knowing it.

Have you ever wondered what brought a person to the state that they are currently in? Whether they are homeless or wealthy, beaten down or haughty, all were born of a mother just as you and were someone’s child at a point in their lives. I confess I have wondered not only what makes certain people tick, but how they got to where they are now. When I was in college and didn’t have 2 nickels to rub together, I would go to the mall and people watch. I didn’t know Christ at that time, but I still had an interest in people. Their various looks and shapes … some tall and thin, some big boned, some short and round, some dressed provocatively, some buttoned down … it was interesting then and it is still an interesting exercise today. Looking without judging is the key. Praying for them as they pass is a worthy occupation of the moment. The most prideful soul might be broken inside and in need of comfort. What shall we do as believers?

We tend to steer clear of truly evil people, don’t you think? In this day and age, one never knows who will pull out a pistol and blow you away for no good reason other than they are angry at the world and someone WILL pay for that. Those that do not seek God need to be shown somehow in a loving, kind and relative way that they are in need of a Lord and Savior. There are layers and layers of social prejudice and thought processes that must be peeled through before they will see that need. Nothing is impossible for God. Nothing. God has reached cases that were considered lost causes for thousands of years without flinching and He is still in the miracle working business today.

So when we see a “wicked” person, don’t shun them or cower away from them, but rather say a pray for them that God will soften their heart and reveal Himself to that individual and if He so desires, that He might use you as the conduit to lead that soul to a life with Christ. The family of God has plenty of room for more members. Seek God’s guidance and go about your work for Him without fear. He hasn’t taken you this far to dump you off in a blind alley.

WALK WITH THE KING TODAY AND BE A BLESSING!!
