Sometimes it takes time to see the “reward of the wicked,” even though you have prayed for vindication.

You’ve chopped the root of the tree. The leaves may still look green for a while, but the sap flow has stopped. The tree will fall—that’s a fact.

You’ve cut the root in prayer, repentance, and obedience. What looks alive is just momentum—the life source is severed. God’s justice moves on His timeline. Leaves may stay green a season longer, but the fall is certain.
