A Devotional Thought From Proverbs

The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.     Proverbs 10:7

Their names sit rotting upon the garbage dumps of history. They are remembered for the rape, pillage, cruelty, and murder they inflicted on the human race: Huns, Nazis, Mau Maus, Stalinists, and others. The stink of their evil surfaces whenever their names are spoken, and the blood of their millions of victims cries from the earth against them. Example: Jonah 1:2, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. Other names, today’s names, those of terrorist groups and other wicked ones, will join them rotting on that same garbage heap, smelling to high heaven. I hope it will be soon, but whether it is soon, or not until Jesus comes the terrorists will face judgment and defeat. Name the names. You know them. None can defy the will of God and succeed in the evil they do. There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD (Proverbs 21:30). There will come a time when like decaying corpses on the steaming garbage heaps of Gehenna the very mention of their names will bring the rotten stink.
