“KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE!”
Psalm 37:1-2
“Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.”
Stop and think of the way you react when you see the godless, unscrupulous people who live in mansions and drive luxury cars. All too often we wish we had some of the luxuries they are enjoying. That, my precious friend, is envy!
We see the bad guys getting neat toys and we pout and get in a snit because they have what we want. Envy is always a waste of time. The things of this world will all pass away, so why should we place so much emphasis on them.
Someone has done a survey of people who unexpectedly came into large sums of money. They asked the question, "Were you happier before winning, or now?" It was almost unanimous that they were much more content before than after.
Psalms is so up to date. Just look at the words in the passage I have cited above. It is like reading today's newspaper, yet it was written about 3,000 years ago. Evil men were as common then as they are now. Both rich and poor have passed into eternity. Only those, rich or poor, who accepted the Lord have a reward that will last for eternity. We need to keep our eyes on the prize that is eternal and a gift from God to those who have invited Him into their heart. Are your eyes on the prize?
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
