Scripture: Psalms 37-39; Acts 26 (7/27/2010)
In Psalms 37:7 it says, "Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass."
You may look at someone who blatantly does wrong and seems to get away with it. You might actually envy their life. Take a closer look and you will see they have no peace, their life is rough.
Proverbs 13:15b states that the way of transgressors is hard. Not only is their existence on earth hard, when they die they have to answer to God for their wrongdoing. The Christian life is not trouble-free, but if you do God's will you'll find rest and, trust me, it will pay off. Just be patient.
