Though while they live they count themselves blessed—
and people praise you when you prosper— they will join those who have gone before them,
who will never again see the light of life. People who have wealth but lack understanding
are like the beasts that perish.
(Psalm 49:18-20 NIV)
In our world we praise success and wealth. We consider ourselves blessed when things go well. Yet the true blessing is life eternal. Maybe we are more blessed to suffer here on the earth. Yet even as Christians we often flee from suffering and turn in anger against our God. Yet he gives us life. I am sorry lord that I seek prosperity now more than resting in your promise of life. Lord I am sorry and I want to hope in you and eternal life in you.i want to trust you the provider not your worldly provision.
Amen
