People think God is like Satan. So, “the wicked renounce God and say in his heart, ‘You will not call to account’?” (Ps 10:13)
People have attributed to Santa qualities that are only available to the Lord. You’ve all heard the lyrics of the song that says he knows who is naughty or nice and knows when you are asleep or awake, good or bad. So be good for goodness’ sake.
But just because Santa is coming to town, there is nothing he can do to right wrongs. He is not omnipotent but impotent. Here is what Psalm 10 verses 13 and 15 says,
Why does the wicked renounce God
and say in his heart, “You will not call to account”?
But you do see, for you note mischief and vexation,
that you may take it into your hands;
to you the helpless commits himself;
you have been the helper of the fatherless.
Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer;
call his wickedness to account till you find none.
Why do the wicked think they can get away with all this? It’s because they don’t see justice in this world. They see powerful people getting away with lying and cheating among other things. They see immorality promoted in Hollywood and among politicians. They don’t understand 2 Peter 3 verse 9, “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
Psalm 10 is all about the Lord bring judgment on oppressors and evil people who don’t think the Lord will do anything. But the Lord promises there will be a day when the wicked will find judgment and the oppressed will see justice. He will no longer be patient.
If you’ve put off repenting and turning to Jesus for salvation because you think the Lord doesn’t see or won’t judge you by his standards, you need to turn and repent before his patience wears out. If you want to know how to do that, then watch my video on YouTube, "The Gospel" It will tell you how to be saved and escape judgment.
May God Bless you!
