Not Remain In The Land

Proverbs 10:30 – The righteous will never be uprooted, but the wicked will not remain in the land.

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

Proverbs 2:21-22 – 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.

Psalm 125:1 – Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.

Application:

• ·         “Inherit the land” means receive from the Lord secure entitlement to the promised land as the created and redeemed sphere and bountiful source of provision for the life of God’s people. 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.
• ·         God warned that if the people refuse to obey him, they “will be uprooted from the land”.
• ·         God’s “people” are also characterized as “the righteous” and “those who are good”, “who are upright in heart”.
