The Wicked Among Us

In our society today, there are people who we could classify as ‘wicked.‘ That word seems like a harsh description to our sensible ears and imaginations. However, the Bible doesn’t pull back on any punches for those guilty of such acts. Perhaps, we shouldn’t either.

Notice the description used for the wicked in Psalm 10. These folks deliberately target the weak and poor to take advantage of them. If elected or appointed to a high office, they promise or boast of great things they will provide but deliver nothing. These people are arrogant, greedy, and profane. Lacking any sense of shame or morality, they possess evil desires and celebrate deeds done secretly to increase their wealth, control, and power.

These same people curse and insult the one true God by expressing contempt for godly things and even the Lord Himself. Publicly, they say the right things at times, but in secret, they are full of mockery and offend both the Creator and those who honor Him. Even those who disregard the sanctity of human life never admit that God exists. They have become fools in all their efforts to make something of themselves to self-admire.

Psalm 14:1
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”

As we move closer to 2024 and the election season, study what candidates say and don’t say. Ask God for discernment and wisdom to make right choices in your candidates for office.
