“The Lord will not allow the righteous soul to famish,
but he casts away the desire of the wicked.”
Proverbs 10:3

“…he casts away the desire of the wicked.”

There is no gain in wickedness, because in their striving the wicked are striving against God and cannot prevail. Whatever is their motive, their goal, the desire they are pursuing, succeeding in it will not achieve happiness because it is the Lord himself who casts away the desire of the wicked. They may seem to prosper for awhile, but in the end they will fail.

For believers on the other hand, God will grant them the desires of their heart if they will wait patiently trusting in his faithfulness. The day will come when the fortunes will be reversed and the wicked will be no more, but the faithful will enjoy the blessings of their God for all eternity. FOR ALL ETERNITY!

“Do not fret because of evildoers,
nor be envious of the workers of iniquity,
for they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
and wither as the green herb.
Trust in the Lord, and do good;
so shall you dwell in the land,
and truly you shall be fed.
Delight yourself also in the Lord,
and he shall give you the desires of your heart.”
Psalm 37:1-4

Their days are numbered. The believers’ are eternal.
