Why not Me?

Good Morning! Psalm 73:2-3 But as for me, my feet almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. You know here for the last 6 or 7 months I have been struggling with this Why not me syndrome. And it wasn't until I read this Psalm today I understood what is going on. Maybe some of you can relate? But you know I look around today and I see people who do not live for the Lord being the ones who are prospering in these days and times. In Vs 9 it says, Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their mouths take possession of the earth. As Asaph the writer of this Psalm was back then, I have been of late. Envious of the wicked! I look around and see people who don't even think about God and doing His work being prosperous and as Vs 8 says, They are free from the burdens common to man; they are not plagued by human ills. And as Asaph did way back then, I have been questioning if trying to live a Godly life is worth it when, Vs 12 This is what the wicked are like-always carefree, they increase their wealth. But there has been something that has kept me from really falling to all this temptation. And it is this! This thing I do every morning. In Vs 16-17 it hit me! When I tried to understand all this, it was oppressive to me, till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny. For a long time I have been letting the world and all its temptations of Wealth and Prosperity creep back into my life. But by me going to the Sanctuary of God every morning it has kept me from falling all the way down. It is by doing this that God has spoken to me through His word today. He has made me realize that Vs 27 Those who are far from you will perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you. You see instead of saying, Why not Me Lord? I should be thanking God for choosing me. Thank him for the privilege that He is always with me. Vs 26, My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. So today if you are having problems with looking at people who you think are getting way better than they deserve, and you should have a little of it. Ask yourself, but do they have a Loving God like we do. Who has given us the one and only thing of value in this life. And that is Salvation! When I go to His Sanctuary it is there I see my riches. So today don't be envious of what others have, whether they are wicked or not. Because when it is all said and done, they may be the ones saying Why not me Lord! HABD!
