Father God, guide me always to DO ALL things that will bring GLORY AND HONOR TO YOU AMEN. A great temptation threatens to overtake us at times. The temptation is to doubt God's goodness, toward and and envy the lives of the wicked. Those who reject God and are consumed by the desires of their humanity often appear to have more success than the people of God. We watch them enjoy possessions we dream of having and practices we KNOW ARE WRONG but to appear to be pleasurable.  Satan places within the crevice of contemplation the thought, "that looks like fun, you only have one life, I am missing out on 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. Even as the psalmist contemplated this dilemma, he knew the goodness of God toward Israel. The word "GOOD" . (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 prosperity of the wicked.) "GOOD" encompasss 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 have it GREAT, brothers and sisites. We BELONG to the ONE TRUE GOD and have an inheritance reserved for us. Do not be consumed by the smoke screeems of Satan. COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS!  There has NEVER BEEN a trailer hitch on a hurst...you CANNOT TAKE possessions with you...all you accumulate for you, your family will NOT KEEP..it will be sold or given away, because they are accumulating their own. Live life so those who know you but don't know God will come to know God because they know you.     That is ALL you need to keep and share..the kindness of your life, compassion, giving to others. That is what matters For it is WITH God ALL things ARE POSSIBLE Matthew 19:26 

Timely and much appreciated reminder that Hod loves and blesses the righteous and the unjust in His time and for His reasons. Stay the course!

A very good reminder LJ!  I know we have seen it in the barrel racing/horse community.  Insurmountable debt, prison sentences, suicide. It is very much a tragedy!  Satan is a liar - Jesus is the Truth.  

God bless you!

Thank you
