You have wearied the LORD with your words. “How have we wearied him?” you ask. By saying, “All who do evil are good in the eyes of the LORD, and he is pleased with them” or “Where is the God of justice?”

“You have said, ‘It is futile to serve God. What did we gain by carrying out his requirements and going about like mourners before the LORD Almighty? But now we call the arrogant blessed. Certainly the evildoers prosper, and even those who challenge God escape.’ ”

“Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the LORD Almighty. “Not a root or a branch will be left to them. But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall…says the LORD Almighty.

Though we live in a broken world, we do not have to live as a broken people!

Regardless of my present, I have the promise and hope of a joyful future.

My future is perfectly secure in my Heavenly Fathers hands.

He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
