Hard to Understand

Bible Reading: Psalm 73:12-28
Thursday 28 March 2024 © The Upper Room.

I look around at people in the world. I see people who are wealthy and have many possessions. Some of these people are proud and rude. They do not follow God and His rules.

I try every day to follow God. But He does not bless me with money and nice things. So it is hard for me to understand why these bad people are rich.

Verse 12a of our Bible Reading says it this way: “Those proud people are wicked, but they are rich and getting richer. Clearly, then, I gain nothing by keeping my thoughts pure!”

Then I think again about these people who do not follow God. They will not live forever with Him. They may have riches on earth, but they will be eternally separated from God.

I agree with the writer of this psalm. He says in verse 28, “As for me, all I need is to be close to God.” I don’t need riches and fancy things. All I truly need is God and salvation through His Son, Jesus. —SH*

Psalm 37:16-17 “A few good people are better than a large crowd of those who are evil. The wicked will be destroyed, but the Lord cares for those who are good.”

PRAYER: Father, all I need is You and Your Son, Jesus. In His name. Amen.
