There will always be \u201cevildoers\u201d and \u201cworkers of iniquity,\u201d and for the most part they will appear to succeed while the forces of righteousness will seem to fail.<\/p>\n
The wicked will always have the money and the talent and the publicity and the numbers, while the righteous will be few and poor and unknown. The prayerless Christian will surely misread the signs and fret against the circumstances. That is what the Spirit warns us against.<\/p>\n
Let us look out calmly upon the world; or better yet, let us look down upon it from above where Christ is seated and we are seated in Him. Though the wicked spread himself like \u201ca green bay tree\u201d it is only for a moment. Soon he passes away and is not. \u201cBut the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.\u201d This knowledge should cure the fretting spirit.<\/p>\n
