While I do not have a key verse that jumped out at me from today’s reading, there was a message that resonated with me. God will ultimately punish the wicked when the time is right and when it fits within His purpose and will. On the other side, the obedient will ultimately be rewarded, but probably not in this lifetime. If that we’re the case, the righteous would all be rich and disease free. God wants obedience from His children and for us to have faith that our reward belongs in eternity and not necessarily in this lifetime. We are to trust that God is in control through all circumstances and will act to fulfill His perfect plan for His glory and honor. This is not selfishness on His part, it is His right. To think differently is arrogance on our part.
