Psalm 37:1-2 (NIV)
1 Do not fret because of those who are evil or be
envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
2 for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
Frustration and envy... hmmm, isn't that our reaction to
those who are evil and yet seem to prosper? We're reminded to not let the
apparent and short-lived successes of evil people derail our faith or dampen
our spirits. Their victories are temporary, their wealth is like a flower that
will wilt, and their life is like the grass which withers and is soon gone.
Thought for today: Do I give up prematurely when I see others
get ahead?
