Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him;
Do not get upset because of one who is successful in his way,
Because of the person who carries out wicked schemes.
Cease from anger and abandon wrath;
Do not get upset; it leads only to evildoing.
For evildoers will be eliminated,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land. Psalm 37:7-9
Comparison is a powerful tool in the hands of the enemy. He tries to get us focused on what is going on in the life of others, especially those that excel in evil. He gives us a glimpse of time, not the full picture of what their life really looks like.
As believers, our focus should be on the Lord. When we wait on Him, He will work things out for His good. Not just in the moment but for a lifetime. We can find rest in Him even during our biggest trials. Eventually, we will inherit everything that God has for us.
Lord, forgive me for the times I have been caught up in comparison, romanticizing the life of someone that is evil or at least no fully serving You. Help me to wait on You knowing that Your outcome will be good.
