We as Christians sometimes wonder why the wicked prosper in the world, and we suffer. We must abide in the sanctuary of God, and there we will see their end. When destruction comes to the wicked, we are not to gloat at it, rather we should be prayerful that they will come to repentance to God. Godly sorrow leads to repentance unto salvation, but worldly sorrow leads to death. God continually guides us with his counsel, and then afterward takes us to glory. So God wants us to be intercessors for those who prosper in this world, and warn them that it is but for a season. Godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing in this world, and we will carry nothing with us when we are gone. Warn those that are rich, they will fall into temptation, and a snare which drown men in perdition, and destruction. It is not a sin to be rich, but with great wealth comes great responsibility. The rich should be free to give, and not trust in uncertain riches. God gives us the ability to earn wealth, and we must be careful to give God the glory for all that he gives us.
