But they are against God ... against his Word and truth ...and we think to ourselves, "how can these, that do not love or honor God, be "blessed" with so much?"
Yet these thoughts are foolish ... for not all gains are blessings ... and often they are a curse ... a stumbling block keeping us from the true treasures of God ...
incorruptible ... everlasting ... and more precious than anything this world has to offer.
Psalm 73: 3
For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked...
Psalm 73: 17
Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
Psalm 73: 21-24
So foolish was I, and ignorant ... Nevertheless I am continually with
you: you have held me by my right hand. You shall guide me with your
counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
1 Peter 1: 3-4
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ ... by the
resurrection of Jesus Christ ... an inheritance incorruptible, and
undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for you.
