Proverbs 15:29-30
The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. 30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
Greetings everyone!
Today, looking at the scriptures, it can be affirmed that the Ways of God is quite different from that of men. There are laid down principles of how to come nearer to him. Righteousness is the key.
Wickedness on the other hand is a state of been wicked, mischievous and full of evil. Evil in its sense is a complete state of been sinful. God cannot come near anyone who is wicked. His eyes cannot behold sin. If you are still under the strong hold of sin, then you are a wicked man. Wickedness is not until you endanger people's life or act irrationally (so to speak). When you still derive pleasures from sinful act then you are not better off an evil individual. God cannot answer the prayers of one who loves to continue in sin. But guess what? from this scripture, we see that God only delights in the prayers of them that are righteous (one who is free from sin as a result of living right in the sight of God). And this comes with loads of benefits. Prioritize a life of righteousness and you will see that the good news of God will not depart from you and your household.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
SHALOM!
