I did not write the following (found it this morning when reading some spiritual writings) but it sums up what Christians and others of good faith think and feel in these days of… elites against non-elites… baby killing and stolen elections... status quo corruption in our (US) capitol. My comments are in brackets [ ]
How good is God.. to those who are pure of heart. Yet my feet came close to stumbling.. had almost slipped, for I was filled with envy when I saw how the wicked prosper [Why was my first thought of Nancy Anti-Catholic Pelosi? .. and bidum].. no pains.. no share in men’s sorrows.. not stricken like others. [They] wear their pride like a necklace.. clothe themselves with violence. Their hearts overflow with malice, their minds seethe with plots. They scoff; they speak with malice.. they plan oppression.. their tongues dictate to the earth. So the people turn to follow them and drink in all their words. They say “How can God know? Does [He] take any notice? ..Such are the wicked.. untroubled, they grow in wealth.
How useless to keep my heart pure and wash my hands in innocence, when I was stricken all day long, suffered punishment day after day.”
Then I said
“If I were to speak like [them] I should abandon the faith of God’s people.”
To be near God is my happiness..
