Vr long have not do my devotion here alr. Super busy! I'm here to blog abt psalm 73 because some verses in it blinked at me. yes, it blinked at me. wahahahaha...
2 But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;
I had nearly lost my foothold.
3 For I envied the arrogant
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
Everywhere in the media, whether it is from what we see on TV, read from books/newspapers, hear from radio or from ppl, it will affect us somehow. TV is quite a big distraction in regards to the verses above. In the black box, I see the ppl going on vacations enjoying life, living in big houses with big swimming pools and driving big cars, practically spending big money everywhere and anyhow I always have an ache in my heart.
12 This is what the wicked are like—
always carefree, they increase in wealth.
Har......... If only we can do this and do that, thn everythg win already. This is wad I'll tell my parents sometimes.
Often I'll ask God:
"eh, God, how come they dono u but still can be always carefree, and keep increasing in wealth leh. Actually don need u oso can wad."
So sometimes I feel exactly how verse 13 said.
13 Surely in vain have I kept my heart pure;
in vain have I washed my hands in innocence.
Keeping my heart pure is sometimes very mafan and difficult. Who dowan to have comfort? My mom always say, the rich gets richer, the poor gets poorer. Quite true wad i thought. Rich can invest in houses, cars and wads not. While the poor have to fight against the rising of the economy which means rising prices of wadever and anythg.
Here is wad Ecclesiastes has to say:
Ecclesiastes 5
10 Whoever loves money never has money enough;
whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income.
This too is meaningless.
15 Naked a man comes from his mother's womb,
and as he comes, so he departs.
He takes nothing from his labor
that he can carry in his hand.
Read the whole of chapter 5 - riches are meaningless.
