Beloved–
The wicked draw their swords and string their bows to kill the poor and the oppressed, to slaughter those who do right. But their swords will stab their own hearts, and their bows will be broken. It is better to be godly and have little than to be evil and rich. For the strength of the wicked will be shattered, but the Lord takes care of the godly. Day by day the Lord takes care of the innocent,
and they will receive an inheritance that lasts forever. They will not be disgraced in hard times;
even in famine they will have more than enough. But the wicked will die. The Lord’s enemies are like flowers in a field—they will disappear like smoke. The wicked borrow and never repay, but the godly are generous givers. Those the Lord blesses will possess the land those he curses will die. The wicked draw their swords and string their bows to kill the poor and the oppressed, to slaughter those who do right. But their swords will stab their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.
It is better to be godly and have little than to be evil and rich. . . there have been times when I could not sleep. The numbers from my unbalanced budget kept going around in my head. I learned that the Lord knows exactly when and where is the best time and place to demonstrate his power over my life and yours. What a wonderful Triune GOD we have!
Luv Ya!
