How to Overcome Temptation, Part 123 (Envy) (Onward Christian Soldiers #247)

Proverbs 23:17-18

The 37th psalm is written as a response to the “problem of evil”, which seeks to reconcile belief in an omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent God, with the existence of evil in the world. Here, David addresses a question that many have asked down through the years: Why do the evil prosper and the good suffer? David opens this psalm by encouraging the righteous not to be envious or worried about the evildoers.
