Don't Envy Evildoers

Lady of Light

Do you ever see people who seem successful from ill gotten gain or life seems to be going well for them because they may have more than you do? In Ps. 37, God tells us:

"Fret not because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity." For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed."

God also tells us what we should do - trust in him, do good and we shall be fed. That may sound like an oversimplification, but it is just the simple truth. How many times do we turn on the news and hear of another corrupt politician or religious leader who looked on the surface like his life was so good. I was shocked when I read "Reader's Digest" and saw the serial killer they wrote about was a Boy Scout Leader and President of a church!! Things just aren't always what they seem.

I am glad to know that God knows my heart and he knows yours too and he wants us to spend our time counting our blessings of which there are many, and thinking on good things, not concerning ourselves with the temporary so-called success of evildoers.

Have a great day!

God Bless you!
