Psalm 73:1 Truly God is good to Israel, To such as are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped. For I was envious of the boastful, when I saw the proseriety of the wicked. For there are no pangs in their death, but their strength is firm. They are not in trouble as other men nor are they plagued liked other men.
Therefore pride serves as their necklace; Violence covers them like a garment. 12 Behold these are ungodly who are always at ease ;they increase in riches. Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hand in innocence.
A great temptation threatens to overtake us at times. The temptation is to doubt Gods goodness toward us and envy the lives of the wicked. Those who reject God and are consumed by the desires of thir humanity often appear to have more success than the people of God. We watch them enjoy their possessions we dream of having and practices we know are wrong but appear pleasurable.
Satan places within the crevices of contemplation the thought, that looks like fun. I am missing out in life.. DON'T BELIEVE THAT LIE! Sure , the wicked appear at times to prosper while the redeemed suffer, but that is not the whole story.
The fact is, GOD IS GOOD TO US. The word good encompasses all the blessings God has given. As Christians, we ARE BLESSED with the grace of redemption. The wicked, who at times prosper on earth, will one day experience the horrors of hell. We belong to the one true God and have an inheritance reserved for us. DO NOT BE CONSUMED by the smoke screen of Satan. COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS!
For it is WITH God all things are possible
Have a very Blessed Wednesday
