Stay Alert

Proverbs 12:21 (KJV) There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.

As I read through this chapter, I kept seeing this word “wicked” appear again and again. Solomon seems to be really concerned about this and is convinced that there are some people who are just plain evil.  We as Christians have a hard time believing this.  We see it.  We’re told about it .  We experience it.  We still resist.

Evil exists.  Most people would admit that.  Evil is all around us.  Many would accept that.  People that you know and deal with daily are consumed with this evil.  That we don’t like.  It is still true

So?  Take warnings like this in Proverbs seriously.
