Scripture: Proverbs 3:31 Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways. (NIV)
Nugget: There have been times when many of us have felt that those who do evil get ahead; for example, many people lie, cheat, etc. to get to the next level in their careers & more. These people seemed to progress as others would be at a standstill.
One of things I’ve realized when coming across these people, is that what they receive is usually temporary as it didn’t come from God. What God gives is permanent & in His will. This is why it’s so important for us to stay focused on God & not people.
Keep doing good; keep doing what God has called you to do. There’s no need to adopt the ways of those who are evil. Living life God’s way is what He’s called us to do; being obedient in Him produces outcomes beyond what our eyes can see.
Quote: “It is true that He does sometimes require of us things that to others seem hard. But when the will is once surrendered, the revolutionized life plans become just the plans that are most pleasant, and the things that to others seem hard, are just the things that are easiest and most delightful. Do not let Satan deceive you into being afraid of God’s plans for your life.” -R.A. Torrey
