Today, I’m pulling from the book of Ecclesiastes chapter 8, and anyone who is familiar with the book of Ecclesiastes knows I had to watch a comedy right after reading to lift my spirits again.
I’m only kidding, but the reality of what Solomon shares can be a dampening of the spirits to those who read his words in Ecclesiastes.
Here is the main verse I’m pulling from today! It says …
11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
This plainly says, because a sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, the heart or mindset of mankind is fully set to do evil and continue in their evil.
I remember lying fo
r the first time and not getting caught. It bewildered me. I remember stealing for the local corner store in my neighborhood, and thinking this is certainly a wonderful thing.
I only enjoyed doing it because of some of my pals who would offer praise upon accomplishing the evil feat. They called that peer pressure. I hated that I was taking from others! Nevertheless, because the sentence against my stealing and lying was not executed right away by man or God, this kept me fully set to continue in my evil.
Sentence Against an Evil Work is Not Executed Speedily
It wasn’t until I began reading the Proverbs I began to stop these evil acts around about the age of 11 or 12. People think they are getting away because the sentence isn’t executed right away.
If you stole and your hand was chopped off as you were stealing, you’d probably never steal again. If we developed a deadly disease upon committing adultery, the divorce and adultery rates would be down to zero.
Sentence Against an Evil Work
If you caught cancer for merely eating a deep-fried donut and deep-fried chicken, you would change the diet right away. However, because one can eat terribly for 30 years before an illness appears, people continue to stop by fast foods and other fake foods and avoid naturally made foods from God’s earth.
Understand this and you will have a greater understanding of God’s Creation and the invisible laws of life!
