For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. Psalms 37:28 Every gardener knows that one of the secrets to healthy plants comes from cutting away the dead parts. When the leaves begin to wither and turn brown, that part of the plant has died and needs to be pruned. The dead parts can contaminate the healthy plant and if the gardener refuses to prune, the entire plant could die. In this passage, God is the gardener who must “cut off" the descendants of the wicked. He does this to protect the “godly ones"--the healthy part of the plant. He does this because He is just God and wishes to “preserve" us forever. Father, Thank You for protecting me and preserving me. You have promised to cut off the wicked so that they will not prosper. I do not have to fear their descendants because You have pruned them away. Amen. KJV Bible
