Honesty with patience

Sometimes, it seems so meaningless when the righteous fails and the unrighteous prospers. It may easily discourage some people from being righteous. But the Psalmist says
"Do not fret because of those who are evil 
or be envious of those who do wrong;
for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away"
Many people may say honesty is not the best policy anymore, but I feel it is still the best as it was and will always be the best policy. What the Lord hates is the sacrifice of the wicked, the sacrifice from the money earned by dishonest means, a sacrifice of thief. They may prosper in
the society and even hold high status for a while, but they will soon wither like grasses and plants. For those who are being honest and righteous, do not do it for the blessings that will follow it, rather do it for the glory of God. It may lead to temporary failure but you will never fail forever. The righteous may fall many times but the Lord will pick them up again.

Test can come in different ways but always be righteous, fear the Lord and depart from evil, the Lord is always on time.   "   He is 4 days late but still on time"    The Lord said He will bless the righteous so it is best to trust Him and wait for Him patiently. As Abraham waited for the Lord and failed, this led to the enslavement of his descendants in Egypt for 400 years. The Lord will always keep his word, so never let your mind believe the false and temporary happiness and richness that the devil can give.

The Lord answers with a NO or a WAIT only to make us stronger or when He plans a better thing than what we ask for. Let’s be patient, righteous and always fear the Lord. This far He has brought us, he won't abandon us in the desert. Remember the Red Sea, Manna and the water that came out from the rock.
