“Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.”Psalm 37:1
The Bible instructs us not to fret (worry or be envious) over the prosperity of evildoers.
We must not get carried away by the “success” of unbelievers, especially when they dangle their evil carrots at us so that we can join them in their unrighteous deeds.
Asaph, a chief Levite, was faced with the dilemma in Psalm 73:3-8. He was in this state until God opened his heart to comprehend the final destiny of all unbelievers in Psalm 73:17-22.
In like manner, so many children of God are becoming envious of sinners today. If you feel this way, God is asking me to tell you that your godliness is not in vain.
Today, ungodliness is in vogue because it seems to pay off. It is not true, especially when you consider the end of an unbeliever.
Father, please help me to keep holding fast to the word of salvation till I see You in glory.
Shalom!
