But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold.  For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked (Psalm 73:2-3).

Sometimes it just doesn’t seem fair.  Here you are, busting your spiritual butt serving the Lord, and you don’t seem to be getting anywhere. Lousey job, crummy car, bills that just don’t stay paid.  And when you look around, you see people who are far less spiritual than you are, and they seem to be doing great.  It really stinks.

Tread carefully, Beloved.  You are on a slippery slope.  The only way to keep from falling is to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, and you can’t do that if you are looking around at other people and what they have and get and do.

Unless, of course, you have some sort of weird googly-eye thing going on, but that’s not something you need to share, OK?

Eyes on the prize, ya Beloved?

Happy Wednesday.
