My Daily Pause

Every Christian I’ve ever asked has wondered why God allows atheist and evil people to materially prosper. It is apparently an age old question going back at least to David in Psalm 10. He seems to think that they are so spiritually poor that the riches never really satisfy them, yet it becomes their main pursuit.

Jesus said to lay up our treasure in heaven, not here in this life where it will decay away (Matthew 6:19-21). God will settle the accounts in the end (1 Thessalonians 1:3-10). If we concentrate on God’s work, the rest will take care of itself. (Matthew 6:25-33)

² The rich and the poor are alike
in that the Lord made them all. – Proverbs 22:2 NCV

We are all equal in God’s eyes. We sin, we are mortal, we die.

He gave us the same plan of salvation and we have an equal responsibility to make sure others find out what it is.

How can you best use your position to help others find God?
