Proverbs 10:28 Part 2

Now we get to address the darker side of proverbs 10:28. We left off last with two questions unanswered:

1. What are the expectations of the wicked?
2. How do these said expectations perish?

The first answer is rather simple when you take a moment and think about it. What are the expectation of the wicked? Replace some of the words and re-read it. "What do all men desire?" Same question, different wording. The basic instincts and desires of mankind are the expectations of the wicked, for all humanity is wicked, for all have sinned. We can claim this for the ways of the righteous are desires that we seek to emulate the personality and image of God, whose ways are not our ways. Now how do these expectations perish? How many of the dead do you see looking for love, money or food? Not a whole lot, otherwise Quentin Taritino may have to make a few zombie movies in order to keep up with the rest of the world. The point is that in death, you take nothing with you. Its game over for material matters, you leave it all behind and all that matters than is what you have invested in eternal matters. Which as we established our not desires or expectations of the wicked, but rather the righteous.
