Ever find yourself shaking your head, wondering why it seems like wicked people get away with everything?
It’s one of those timeless frustrations: corruption, evil and injustice often appear to go unchecked. But in Ecclesiastes 8:10–13, Solomon gives us a perspective shift.

As Vince Miller explains in his daily devotional, the reason injustice seems to thrive is simple — judgment doesn’t always come right away. That delay tricks people into thinking there’s no consequence, so they dive deeper into sin. But slow judgment doesn’t mean no judgment. God’s justice may not be instant, but it’s always right on time.
So what should we do while we wait? Miller challenges us to stop fixating on the apparent success of the wicked. Their wins are temporary — nothing more than “dust in the wind.”
Instead, we’re called to fear God, walk in righteousness and trust His timing. Justice may not move on our schedule, but it never misses God’s. In the end, for those who fear Him, “it will be well.”
If that hits home for you, check out Miller’s devotional videos. He’s walking through Scripture every day — verse by verse, chapter by chapter — offering clear, encouraging truth for real life.
