Things Are Not as They Seem

Every which way we look, it appears as if the wicked thrive and the righteous always get the short end of the stick. Yet appearances are ultimately not as they seem to be. One day soon, the wicked and everything they have will disappear; like wisps of smoke in the air, they will fade into obscurity—but the righteous will remain and inherit what God has promised to them. It is in light of this greater reality that the righteous are called to continue doing good and entrusting themselves to their unfailing God, for He is their refuge.
