Today’s Thought “No Diamonds for Christmas This Year” G. Ward

Psalm73:² But as for me, my feet came close to stumbling, my steps had almost slipped. ³ For I was envious of the arrogant, As I saw the prosperity of the wicked. ⁴ For there are no pains in their death, and their belly is fat.

 

I love how the news on Friday after Thanksgiving highlights thousands lining up to catch what perceivably is incredible sales throughout the marketplace and whereas there’s presumption on my part that knows many who watch cannot participate similarly, this may certainly be a great set of passages for your consultation. Asaph, the author, would orchestrate great frustration that marvels at the spiritually disconnected receiving so much prosperity in their lives, including health, despite their ways unbecoming of Holy God’s demands. His discourse would soon understand that our God rains on the just and unjust and at verse 17, turns self-pity to a perspective to know of an imminent fate for those refusing the Almighty’s reign and rule as forever.

For any unable to buy chocolate diamonds and garments (and accessories) from Nordstrom and Lord & Taylor, please know - you can plan a very nice meal in what’s a meager home, along with purchasing things from the $5 and below store and be as celebrative for our Lord’s entry as any. Remembering, our grandparents were overjoyed with giant peppermint sticks and giant oranges (with seeds).
