Fret not thyself because of the evildoers. Neither be envious against the workers of inquiry. For they shall soon be cut down like grass and whither like green herb. Trust in the Lord and do good; so thou shall dwell in the land and be fed. Delight thyself in the Lord; and he shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit thy ways unto the Lord; trust also in him and he will bring it to pass. Psalm 37:1-5
Sometimes we look at the people that do evil and are envious of them because they have everything we don't, while we just struggle from day to day, trying to exist while we are trying hard to be what God wants us to be. We might throw up our fist at God and tell him its not fair. But do those people have what we have which far out weighs anything money can buy? The knowledge that one day, their riches will end, while our own may just be beginning? I opt for the struggles of this life, for what is in store for me in heaven. And in the mean time, God does promise to give those the desires of their hearts if they trust him. Maybe not always in this life, but always in the next.
What about you? Where do you fall on the spectrum of envy in this life?

Hello, Friends. Thanks for coming by. Thankfully, in our area, we did not get much of the Hurricane yesterday. Actually, it was downgraded to a Tropical Storm and for us, provided just some rain. So I thank God for that. I won't be posting tomorrow, but will be back on Wednesday the 5th. Have a wonderful and blessed day!
