“Why Do Bad People Seem to Have It So Good?” June 12
Have you ever looked at someone who ignores God, cuts corners, lives for themselves, and seems to have everything going their way—and wondered, “Why am I even trying?”
You try to do what’s right. You seek to honor God. You make sacrifices. And yet life feels hard while others seem to prosper without giving God a second thought.

In today’s readings, we’ll discover what Asaph learned, why envy is so dangerous, and how focusing on eternity can rescue us from bitterness and discouragement when life doesn’t seem fair.
