Psalm 73, Why do the wicked prosper?

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!

Psalm 30, Riches and Prosperity!

Psa 30:1, I WILL EXTOL YOU, O LORD, FOR YOU HAVE LIFTED ME UP, AND HAVE NOT LET MY FOES REJOICE OVER ME. 

The title of this Psalm is “A PSALM. A SONG AT THE DEDICATION OF THE HOUSE OF DAVID.”.

Most people when they buy or build a home would say, “Look what I’ve done”, but David gives all the honor to GOD! YOU HAVE LIFTED ME UP! In contrast, Nebuchadnezzar said.

Dan 4:30, The king spoke, saying, “Is not this great Babylon, THAT I HAVE BUILT for a royal dwelling BY MY MIGHTY POWER AND FOR THE HONOR OF MY MAJESTY?” 

After every accomplishment give GOD the glory that is due; for your intelligence and abilities was given to you by the LORD!

Psa 75:6-7, For exaltation comes neither from the east Nor from the west nor from the south. BUT GOD IS THE JUDGE: HE PUTS DOWN ONE, AND EXALTS ANOTHER.

Psa 30:6-7, NOW IN MY PROSPERITY I SAID, “I SHALL NEVER BE MOVED.” LORD, by YOUR FAVOR YOU HAVE MADE MY MOUNTAIN STAND STRONG; YOU HID YOUR FACE, AND I WAS TROUBLED.

In David’s prosperity HE SAID IN HIS HEART “I SHALL NOT BE MOVED”, YET he quickly realized that it was the LORD that gave him strength! When the LORD hid HIS presence from David, HE ONLY FOUND TROUBLE!

Pro 11:28, HE WHO TRUSTS IN HIS RICHES WILL FALL, BUT THE RIGHTEOUS WILL FLOURISH LIKE FOLIAGE. 

1Ti 6:17, COMMAND THOSE WHO ARE RICH IN THIS PRESENT AGE NOT TO BE HAUGHTY, NOR TO TRUST IN UNCERTAIN RICHES BUT IN THE LIVING GOD, WHO GIVES US RICHLY ALL THINGS TO ENJOY. 

Psa 30:12, TO THE END THAT MY GLORY MAY SING PRAISE TO YOU AND NOT BE SILENT. O LORD MY GOD, I WILL GIVE THANKS TO YOU FOREVER. 

Money is a useful tool, but never place your trust in riches; for the love of money is the root of all kinds of evils! PLACE YOUR TRUST IN THE LORD FOR HE IS ALWAYS WITH YOU!

Heb 13:5, … BE CONTENT WITH SUCH THINGS AS YOU HAVE. FOR HE HIMSELF HAS SAID, “I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU.”
