I would like wisdom with a question ...

[Steven Bobb]

I would like wisdom with a question that I don't think I'm the only Christian to notice.Why unsaved people, some with ongoing sin problems in some area,seem to "surpass" Christians in some areas.Like, we hear of a number of Christians {some on the site} that have financial problems, some to the point of causing problems.Then as if to add insult to injury, we hear of some unsaved person ,you know the type,some guy who drinks and smokes and curses and commits adultery, who goes to a casino, and you hear from a reliable source that they won, say, $30,000!!I have an aunt who hates Christians, always badmouths them,blames them for everything, yet she was blessed, as her husband died and left her with more more than enough to live out the last years of her life.Like she kept badmouthing Christians , but God let her be blessed!!I don't understand exactly what's going on here, but it seems at least on surface apperances that the more they sin, the more they get blessed!!To a person like me who rationally deducts that "1 plus 1 =2. 2+2 =4,etc. this doesn't make sense to me!!Wisdom please...

Brother the only answer I can offer is from
Matthew 6 :19
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
We are not meant to store our treasure on Earth. As for them, they have a temporary moment here on earth but they can't take their treasure on the other side - but we will have a great abundance in heaven that will last forever.
God bless you brother.

One other verse might apply,"For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his own soul?"

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
