IT SHALL BE WELL WITH THE RIGHTEOUS
Text: “Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him, for they shall eat the fruit of their doing” Isaiah 3:12.
Comment: As prophesied in the Holy Bible, many people today are addicted to satisfying their carnal desires contrary to the laws of God (Luke 17:26-30) Because those who are giving to godliness generally find themselves isolated and despised, the temptation is strong for them to deviate from the right courses to jump on the bandwagon.
There is need therefore for people of God to be encouraged and exhorted to continue in the straight path. The righteous are those who have the fear of God and do His will by obeying His commandments by His grace. Such ones hate evil in all its forms. (Psalm 97:10) The statement “that it shall be well with him” implies that though the people of God are in distress or discomfort, the Almighty Father will reverse such situation completely at a future date.
Solomon the prophet stated “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 8:11-13.
