You, who beg the Lord to move against the wicked, consider this:

The Lord has been Holy from before this place of testing began.  He will be Holy for eternity.  He has established this place to test the hearts of man according to His perfect knowledge.  Wisdom has cloaked the Lord forever.  Wisdom will be His crown, for God does not change like shifting sands.  All the wicked will appear before Him.  And His words will never fail.

It is our folly to provoke His hand of judgment.  He has established a place where He will judge.  When He judges, His judgments will be final.  What word will they speak to their defense?  What will the lips of the condemned speak to wrench themselves loose from His Holy Hand?  They will appear before Him locked in the folly of their own ways.  Who are we to speed this horror on them?

Have you considered the billions of condemned?  Have you given thought to the wonder that you should know the Lord?  Has the marvel of your standing before Him utterly weakened your knees?  Does the praise of Glory, which belongs alone to Him, dripped from your lips with understanding?  You are blessed to know the Lord Jesus.  You have been blessed to receive what is withheld from billions.  Have you considered why? 

We are a people of unclean lips.  And we live among a  people of unclean lips.  How will we avoid speaking these words, “Woe is me!”  We believe.  We come to know Him.  What of those who remain in the darkness from which we were plucked?  Encourage the Lord as you will, to speed His hand against His enemies.  But consider the fate you too deserved!  What if His people had spoken the same thing before you came to knowledge?  What if the Lord had moved with the speed requested by His people?  What would be your defense now?  Consider carefully.  For we worship the Living God who has promised an end to this place.  He has set a place in eternity to judge.  And, when that place is reached, there will be no place left to hide. 

If we stand, we stand because of His mercy and patience.  What righteous do we own that has not come directly from the Holy Hand of He who gives understanding to all?  We stand because He determined to render mercy to us.  We are called to love Him because He has spoken life into our souls, thus we stand.  When they fall, it will be His wrath which calls them to His throne.  Have we done all we can?  Have we sought His Holy Will through prayer?  Are we still rebellious before His ways?  Do we dress our words of prayer with our own pitiful knowledge?  Are we guilty of speaking before The Living God with words without knowledge?

The speed of the Lord’s hand is tempered by His Mercy.  His patience clothes His ways; perfect and pure.  Love dictates to the heart of He who lives forever.  Consider carefully how you attempt to provoke the Lord to move against His enemies.  We too are only those redeemed from among them.  Are we more than charred sticks pulled from the fire?  Ask as you will, but understand what you ask.  Be very careful how you approach the Lord with such a request.  For it is not wise to provoke the Lord to perform what He is not willing to accomplish.  It is written, and will not be taken away; The Lord is not willing for any to perish, but for all to come to an understanding of His Glorious, loving, and patient ways.

Cease your incessant dribble.  Clap your hand over your mouth and seek understanding.  Understand the will of the God you serve.  Present yourself to His knowledge and learn His ways, lest we too fall because we live in ignorance.  Rise up and receive.  Receive the responsibility given to those who call on His Holy Name, Jesus.  He has given us the task of serving the Living God.  Though we are but grafted into the tree which is Israel, we are, none-the-less, grafted in.  All His promises are ours to hold.  Believe!  But believe with fear and trembling.  Consider our standing with a sober heart.  He is the Living God of all eternity!

Glory to God!  Bring Glory to your God!  He is the Living God who will bring an end to this place of testing according to His perfect wisdom, knowledge, and Glory.

By His Grace.
