Proverbs 29:16 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says...

“When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: But the righteous shall see their fall.” (Proverbs 29:16 KJV)

This obviously reminds that the existence of more wickedness reveals the existence of more wicked people. In a democracy, where both the wicked and the righteous vote, when more wicked people are elected into office, it is an indication that there are more wicked electors. Except of course when, another wicked act is perpetrated by the same wicked people who have access to cheat on the system and its tools. Increase in crimes is a litmus test of increase in the census of criminal elements. Immorality, criminality and utter evil abound in a place where ungodly leadership abounds or when few ungodly elements challenging a Godly leadership are empowered by loud and ungodly microphones. Reminiscent of the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 13:13.

But, there is good news! They'll never last, like Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19:24-25). For the righteous whose faith is in the Lord Jesus Christ will see them fall, this passage declares. Hence, we are just to remain steadfast in trusting Him our Savior and rest under the shadow of His grace. His Words of promise hearten us to - “Wait for the Lord and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land; you will look on when the wicked are cut off. I have seen a wicked, ruthless man, spreading himself like a green laurel tree. But he passed away, and behold, he was no more; though I sought him, he could not be found. Mark the blameless and behold the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace. But transgressors shall be altogether destroyed; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.” (Psalm 37:34-38 ESV)

And I Say, AMEN!
