Wealth and the world.

      Everyone would love to be wealthy.  Whatever you see with your eyes is the way things are and cannot be changed at that moment.  Each person is on a certain path.  Simple it may rain today or tomorrow.  The plane takes off or it lands.  A poor person starves while another eats fillet mignon.  

     Some quotes from book of Job.   In 12:6  the tabernacles of robbers  prosper.   21:7  the old live wickedly, and are mighty in power.   read verses 7-14  notice they all go to the grave.  We pray for them though---my addition.    Ps. 37:5  great in power.   Ps. 73:7  They have more than their heart could wish.   A good picture of this is the Queen, she had it all but now  she is  honored and in the  resting place.  

     In Psalm 77:7-20   He knew God could do great things and wonderful.  But what about me?  see Ps.42:2  first he pants after God like a thirsty deer.  He cries in v.3  and they say where is your God?  the key is in v.5.   In Heb. 11:1  faith is the substance of things.  That are hoped for.  therefore we can say hope is a word for faith.   So all he can do is praise and wait for the hope to manifest.   continue verse 5  He is in need of help and for God to look on him with pity.  countenance is the face.  If God looks away from anyone they are in trouble.  The righteous are the ones he is looking on, they are the apple of his eye.  We must turn to him for the dreams to be fulfilled not the world.  Ps. 119:174  From a Hebrew perspective  he is already saved, so his looking for salvation is  God helping him. why?  he delights in God's law (word)  Matt. 6:33 seek first the kingdom and all these things shall be added to you.
