Proverbs - Don't Envy the Wicked

Proverbs 24:19-20

Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;
For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.


Evil and wicked people can cause us to fret and envy.  It surprises us that their actions can stir us more than our love and passion for the Lord.  When we see wicked people get away with things, or so we think, we feel agitated and frustrated.  This is just a waste of energy.  There will be no reward for the evil man and the candle of the wicked shall be put out.  The Lord has His eyes everywhere and He is not mocked.  Whatever a man plants, he shall reap.  We should keep our eyes on the Lord and wait on Him.  He is Lord over all the earth and He is willing that none should perish but all should have everlasting life.  Fret not and don’t be envious.
