One of my favorite Psalms in the Bible is Psalm 73.  I think passage the Psalmist goes through what happens to the wicked.

And it’s not what you’d think.

He says, you know, they got it pretty good. Things seem to go well for them.

They get what they want. Things works out. It seems like the way to go.

He looks at his life and sees that things aren’t perfect, that things can be hard, that life is tough.

And then he looks at the wicked and thinks, man, that’s just not fair.

I’m trying to do right, and they aren’t! Why do they get the good stuff?

But, as he thinks, he considers God, considers God’s plan, considers God’s way.

And He realizes this:

25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
I desire you more than anything on earth.
26 My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,
but God remains the strength of my heart;
he is mine forever.

What else matters but God?

The stuff of this earth, it will fail. The stuff of the world it will fail

God will not.  The things of God will not.

The Psalmist look the wicked and realized that instead of things working out for them, they are in trouble.

For, while they have the things of this world, they don’t have God.

And what else could you want?

What else could you need?

Today, remember, trust not in the things of the world.

Trust in God.

And you will never, ever be disappointed.
