The Bible says that we should not envy the wicked because as we look back in verse 2
where it started out, we should not envy the workers of iniquity.
Why?
For they shall be soon cut down like grass and wither as the earth.
I love that God says he's going to cut them down like grass.
They didn't say he's going to cut them down like a tree because if you go to cut down
a tree, if you've ever done it, it takes effort.
It's hard to do.
You ever mow your lawn?
It's pretty simple.
That's what it's going to be like for God when he cuts down the wicked.
It's going to be like mowing his lawn.
It's going to take him a few minutes.
It's going to take him a Sunday afternoon to go out and it's bzzzz done.
And they're going to be gone and they're going to put in that compost heap of hell.
They shall be cut down like the grass.
The Bible says in Romans 12, dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves but rather give place
unto wrath.
When it says give place unto wrath, it's let the wicked do what they're going to do.
You can't stop them anyway.
You're just going to get stomped under their boot.
Give place unto wrath.
Why?
Because it's written, vengeance is mine.
I will repay, sayeth the Lord.
You know, whatever God's going to do, however he's going to repay them, it's going to be
so much better than anything I can do.
I could go out and curse and yell and throw stones and get crazy and just do whatever,
but it's nothing compared to what God's going to do.
If we know the scriptures and we see the things that God is going to do in this world, if
we go read about the wrath that is going to be poured out upon this earth, it's frightening.
It's the thing of nightmares.
But that's what God's going to do.
He said, I will repay.
You know, all the poor that are being oppressed today, all the innocent blood that's being
shed today, that's all going to get paid.
It's all crying out from the ground to God, as the blood of Abel did, when Cain slew his
brother.
And God hears it, and God's keeping track, and God's got a tally book up there and he's
marking it off.
And he's got some names written down, and he's going to come and he's going to collect
one day from these wicked men.
