This is a question I think many honest and sincere people have…🤔.

…If there is a God of righteousness, why do wicked people prosper?

…Just as Jeremiah was…we too are being tested…I think.

…When we see or hear about those who oppose God prospering…it can seem foolish to live believing in God, and some people leave the church and God. 😢
…We know this is a test.
*The devil…tryes to make us think, "I'm jealous! 🤩" and cause us to fall from the faith…
…However…the prosperity of the wicked is only temporary.
…The peace that seems to exist in their hearts is only because they have money.

When the money disappears…😱
The peace vanishes…
…
…The wicked do not prosper.
…God's retribution will surely come.
Not only that person, but their descendants will also suffer negative consequences...

...Those who trust in God and live faithfully will be given eternal life and a crown of righteousness 👑.

...Whatever they do will prosper.

Shalom 😃
