Pro 23:17 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. Pro 23:18 For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
We are reminded that this life is not all there is to our existence. We can be tempted to look around at those who don’t know God, those who live as if there is no God. We can look at these and envy what they have, or what they enjoy. We are reminded to keep our reverence for the Lord and continue faithful. There is an end. There is a reckoning. A great and happy future awaits the faithful. Press on.
