You're Gonna Get It

What the wicked dreads will come upon him, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.
Proverbs 10:24 ESV

Do you remember when we were children, if we did something wrong, someone was usually quick to yell, "I'm telling! You're gonna get it!" And "It" was some sort of dreaded correction - a spanking, being grounded, or both. If it happened enough times, did you learn to walk in fear of the what-ifs and what might happen? Proverbs 23:7 tells us that what we think about, and what we dwell on is who we are and determines how we act. 

Are we fearful (which is a sincere lack of faith and trust in God)? It's time to change our perspective and our expectations. We must grasp hold of God's unchanging, unfailing Nature. God is Love. He is Holy, Merciful, Forgiving, an all-consuming God. He said if we delight ourselves in Him, He will give us the desires of our hearts. He's not a man that He should lie. 

What the wicked dreads will come upon him, but the desire of the righteous will be granted. Oh, we're gonna get it - but our choices can determine what "it" will be.

Prayer:

Father,

            Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be aligned with each other and with Your Word. Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing in Your sight. For You Lord are my Rock and my Redeemer. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
