Why do some unsaved people seem to do better than us?

Some Christians might be in denial about this, because it doesn't sound "right" to them to admit it.On the other hand, some of you may have observed this and had this question yourself.Here goes...do you notice{like I do} that we have "trials","disapointments"on things we want.We need something,God knows it, yet with much prayer, prayers of others, etc. things still happen opposite our preferences.But then,as if to rub salt in the wound,we hear of some unsaved person,who,in a quite simple manner,easily gets what they want or need.I'm not imagining this, I observed it many times.I'm sure some of you must have observed this too.Wonder why this happens,we'll"fall short",but some unsaved person,into various sins,easily {andconsistently} gets blessed.What is going on here?

 

[Mirthah]

Unsaved people are going to hell and no one seems to care for them. The devil wants them happy and joyful in this world full of material possesions and lots of money to spend and a nice house to live. But they do not realize that everything they have will be left behind and nothing will be able to take to heaven. Work not for the things of the world but work for the kingdom of God that is where our hope is set and our life will last for eternity.

Matthew 5:45 (NKJV): for God makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. In short, God blesses the just and the unjust.

Ecclesiastes 9:11 (NKJV): — The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all.

Luke 16:8 (NKJV): So the master commended the unjust steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light.

Also read Psalms 73 and let the Lord speak to your heart.

At times it makes me scratch my head but I am comforted with the fact that Jesus is at the helm.
Although it may appear that the non believers are amassing their blessings and treasures here on earth, they will not qualify for the heavenly blessings. Which blessing does one want? We can't serve two masters.
When one also adds thayJesus warned His disciples that they would be persecuted by others, then it most certainly appears that the non-believers are being so blessed while it appears that we are being forgotten. But that is just an illusion. At best a fleeting moment for the non believers and a permanent Kingdom for believers. There's no comparison! That is not to say that we don't get blessed on earth. We most certainly do praise God, but the Fathers creating a good work in us, forging us with Holy fire which at times may be hard for us to understand.

Matthew 6:19-21
19Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Your salvation is your blessing and your treasure.
The seemingly bright successful life of the non believer is short-lived. We however are setting up our future with Jesus. We are indeed blessed like no other soul.
We must keep the non believers in our prayers.

Fast and pray daily for all unbelievers you know or work with. They need the Lord to open their eyes to see beyong this lifes worries and wants. Treasures from the earth will not satisfy the longing of your heart. Only Jesus and HIs holy presence in our life will change the life of others when they see honesty, love, care and mercy. Those wonderful qualities comes from Jesus heart.

Psalm 73
3 For I envied the proud when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness. 4 They seem to live such painless lives; their bodies are so healthy and strong.
5 They don’t have troubles like other people; they’re not plagued with problems like everyone else. 6 They wear pride like a jeweled necklace and clothe themselves with cruelty.
17 Then I went into your sanctuary, O God, and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked. 18 Truly, you put them on a slippery path and send them sliding over the cliff to destruction. 19 In an instant they are destroyed, completely swept away by terrors. 20 When you arise, O Lord, you will laugh at their silly ideas as a person laughs at dreams in the morning. 21 Then I realized that my heart was bitter, and I was all torn up inside. 22 I was so foolish and ignorant— I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you. 23 Yet I still belong to you; you hold my right hand. 24 You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny.

Do not look on people what they have or where they got what they show us. Look to Jesus, He is the One who comes and bless our life with wonderful things we can share with others. And unto Him be all the glory, all the honor and all the praise because blessings upon blessings comes from His hands.
