KEY VERSE:
“The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.” – (2 Peter 2:9).
SCRIPTURE READING: 2 Peter 2:4-10 (KJV)
4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
A distinguished servant of God once attended a secondary school where discipline was the hallmark. According to him, a sense of moral rectitude steeped in justice, fairness and equity prevailed among staff and students. Behind it all was a system of reward and punishment that kept everyone in line. The School Principal, an avowed atheist, was the driving force behind all these. His ideology notwithstanding, he had unwittingly been following the exact principle by which God has governed the heavens and the earth from creation until date. It must be noted, however, that God’s actions are ultimately driven by love and not by the produce-or-perish attitude of some earthly leaders.
Our passage emphasises that God renders to everyone their just deserts in due time, be they angels or men. This is both a warning and an encouragement. The wheels of divine justice may turn slowly because God is ever looking out for the earliest signs of repentance in His erring creatures. He is not willing that anyone should perish but that all should come to repentance. But where that is lacking, the wheels of God’s justice grind exceedingly fine. The converse is equally true. Those who by grace persist in righteousness become happy recipients of divine grace and approbation in due time.
The proverbial Lady Justice wears a perpetual blindfold to ensure that she discharges her duty impartially and objectively without allowing outside factors, such as politics, wealth or fame, influence her decisions. Even then, the imperfections in human nature have sometimes punched holes in “the blindfold” or made it a trifle too transparent as to pervert the course of justice.
Yet, not so with God. He, the only truly incorruptible Judge, watches over all His creatures. Nothing escapes His gaze; to Him, darkness is as bright as noonday. It matters therefore how you live, what you do and speak in secret or in public places. There is an unseen eye watching you.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The same sunshine that melts the wax, hardens the clay.
