Cut Off From The Land...Torn From It

Proverbs 2:21-3:2 – For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it; but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful will be torn from it. My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.

Psalm 37:9 – For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.

Application:

• ·         God warned that if the people refuse to obey him, they “will be uprooted from the land”.
• ·         Those who hope in the Lord—i.e., trustfully look to Him to bestow life and its blessings as a gift—will inherit the land, not those who apart from God and by evil means try to take possession of it and its wealth.
• ·         Fear of the Lord brings health to the body and “adds length to life”.
