They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong. They are free from the burdens common to man; they are not plagued by human ills (Psalm 73:4-5).

I have a scribbled notation in my Bible next to this verse.  It says, “That seems pretty short-sighted.  Still, it is often me.”  I don’t remember when I wrote that, but I must say I agree with myself. Of course the worldly man has troubles.  He gets dumped, he gets robbed, he loses his job, he gets sick and he dies, just like everyone else.  But sometimes, Beloved, it doesn’t look that way. Sometimes it seems like they just float through life, does it not? They couldn’t care less about God, and it just doesn’t seem to matter.  

“Seem” is a little word that masks a big deception.

Hold on, Beloved.  The poem doesn’t end here.

Happy Thursday
