Psa 73:1-3, …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.
GOD is good to the pure at heart, but when he saw the prosperity of the wicked, he almost stumbled! WHY? Why are they prospering in their wickedness; they have a better life than most people?
Job 21:7, Why do the wicked live and become old, Yes, become mighty in power?
Psa 73:4-5, 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 like other men.
Other men are plagued by financial hardships in the death of a family member, but the wicked, in their prosperity, don’t suffer at all?
Psa 73:9,11, They set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue walks through the earth… And they say, “How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?”
GOD DOESN’T SEE WHAT WE DO, GOD DOESN’T KNOW; WHY WORRY IT’S ALL GOOD!
Hos 7:2, THEY DO NOT CONSIDER IN THEIR HEARTS THAT I REMEMBER ALL THEIR WICKEDNESS; NOW THEIR OWN DEEDS HAVE SURROUNDED THEM; THEY ARE BEFORE MY FACE.
Psa 73:13-14, SURELY I HAVE CLEANSED MY HEART IN VAIN, And washed my hands in innocence. For all day long I have been plagued, And chastened every morning.
THEY LIVE AWESOME LIVES IN THEIR WICKEDNESS, YET I SUFFER DAILY? SOMETHING IS JUST NOT RIGHT?
Psa 73:16-17, When I thought how to understand this, It was too painful for me— UNTIL I WENT INTO THE SANCTUARY OF GOD; THEN I UNDERSTOOD THEIR END.
Pro 23:17-18, Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be zealous for the fear of the LORD all the day; FOR SURELY THERE IS A HEREAFTER, AND YOUR HOPE WILL NOT BE CUT OFF.
MANY BELIEVE THAT ONCE YOU DIE IT’S OVER. YET, DEATH IS THE START OF THEIR TRUE LIVES IN CHRIST FOR THOSE THAT BELIEVE AND TRUSTED IN THE LORD! FOR THE WICKED IT’S TIME TO PAY FOR THEIR WICKEDNESS FOREVER!
