We are encouraged not to become jealous of the temporary prosperity of the wicked. God-opposers may burn brightly for a little while, but from God’s perspective, those who oppose Him are storing up wrath for disobeying His commandments and laws.

Their supposed prosperity comes at an eternal price tag. In the end their future will be terrible- not blessed.

He wise man or woman who knows and obeys the Word of God.
