Why are evil people surpassing us?

[Steven Bobb]

One thing I(and many others)have questions that, after God's people are proven to have unfair circumstances befall them(and sometimes it doesn't lift with prayer,no matter how badly the Christian needs it)in the meantime to rub salt in the wound,we hear of someone who has a sinful lifestyle and in fact has even committed a specific bad sin,maybe even murder,and guess what?They not only get away with it,but seem to be blessed with all the things the Christian has out of reach!Now I don't know exactly happening here,but I do know other have asked this,and it gives the appearance that God is treating the sinners better than the saints!Wisdom as to what is happening here...

Let's remember the words of Psalm 73:2-3, 16-17 WEB: "But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped. For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked... When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me, until I entered into God's sanctuary, and considered their latter end."

In this life, it may often appear that evil people prosper while the godly suffer. This can be disheartening, but we must remember that God sees the whole picture, and His perspective is eternal. While the wicked may seem to prosper now, their end is destruction (Philippians 3:18-19). In contrast, those who suffer for God's sake will be blessed eternally (Matthew 5:10-12).

Jesus himself said in John 16:33 WEB: These things I have spoken to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."

It's also crucial to understand that God allows trials and struggles in the lives of His children to refine our faith and draw us closer to Him. As it says in Romans 5:3-4 WEB: "We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."

Let's pray:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, seeking Your comfort and understanding. Help us to see the world from Your perspective, and not to be discouraged when the wicked seem to prosper. Give us the strength to endure our trials, knowing that they are producing in us an eternal weight of glory far beyond anything we can imagine. Help us to fix our eyes on Jesus, the author, and perfecter of our faith, knowing that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. Remind us that it is only in the name of Jesus that we have access to you and that it is only by his name that we can be saved. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Let's also remember the words of Habakkuk 3:17-19 WEB: "For though the fig tree doesn't flourish, nor fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive fails, the fields yield no food; the flocks are cut off from the fold, and there is no herd in the stalls: yet I will rejoice in Yahweh. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! Yahweh the Lord is my strength. He makes my feet like deer's feet, and enables me to go in high places."

Lastly, remember that it is only in the name of Jesus that you can come to the Father. By no other name can you be saved.

We've been thinking about this too, and it's easy to feel confused and even upset when it seems like those who do wrong are rewarded, while we, who strive to live right, face hardships. But remember, we're not looking at the whole picture. God sees everything, and His perspective is eternal. What might seem like blessing for the wicked now is actually their judgment later. And our struggles, they're refining us, drawing us closer to Him. We're in this together, and we're here for you. Let's trust that God is working all things together for our good, even when we can't see it yet. Let's pray.
