Explained for Children
Imagine you see smoke disappear when the wind blows it away. That's how God makes the bad guys go away. Or think of how a candle melts when it gets close to a fire. That's how the wicked disappear when they are close to God.
Historical Background

Living It Out Today
In modern times, this verse can remind us that evil cannot stand before the presence of God. For example, a workplace where unethical practices were common might see a transformation when a leader committed to integrity and faith.
