Proverbs 23:17-18 NLT
Written almost a century ago, Farther Along puts to music support of this passage of Scripture. The song asks what we do with the apparent prosperity of the wicked when contrasted with the suffering of the righteous.
The world tends to be envious of the wealth of the wicked, but earlier in the book of Proverbs (3:32), we're told, Such wicked people are detestable to the Lord, but he offers his friendship to the godly. Which would you rather have; ill-gotten gains or friendship with an Almighty God? Remember the choices we make have eternal ramifications. And as the song so succinctly states, Farther along, we'll know all about it. Farther along, we'll understand why...
Prayer:
Father,
We pray according to Your Word - we would have lost heart, unless we had believed that we would see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living. We will wait on You, Lord; we will be of good courage, and You shall strengthen our heart. Farther along, we will understand why. Help us to walk through the questions by faith in You. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
in the land of the living. We will wait on You, Lord; we will be of good courage, and You shall strengthen our heart. Farther along, we will understand why. Help us to walk through the questions by faith in You. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
