It will be well

“Though a sinner do evil a hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him: But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.” - Ecclesiastes 8v12-13

There can be no doubt that we live in very wicked day. It seems like sinners do evil and hundred times and more and yet they just keep going on and on in their sin. Sometimes it is hard to understand how this can just go on and on. It seems like they are going to prosper forever and that we are losing ground all the time.

God gives us great words of comfort though – It will be well for all those who fear God. At the end of the day it will be well for us and that days of the wicked will not be prolonged any longer. All of the seeming prosperity it but a shadow, it has no substance and no reality.

On the other hand our future is secure – we are going to be fine when it is all said and done. One day the roles will be reversed. We will prosper while the prosperity of the wicked will be over. Praise the Lord for eternal blessings.
