The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

[Paul, writing to Christians @ Corinth, 1 Cor. 15:1-4]

Psalm 73:1

Title:  My feet had almost slipped

To a point we must admit that many Christians are perplexed with their situation in life.  This could be traced to a comparison between the flourishing state of the wicked and the struggles of the godly man as perceived through envious and troubled eyes.  We cannot set aside the premature conclusion that arrogant men are prospering, knowing also that God does well for His people who resemble Him, but this must never lead us to feel as if our feet were almost gone, or lose our footing that we are no longer planted in the truth, and reckon that the Lord is not doing right.  Up to this point in our intolerant understanding, we have to grasp the final destiny of both through the faculties of worship, prayer, meditation, for us to remain grounded that the struggles of an obedient believer is just a prelude to eternal glory, as the carefree life of the wicked is prelude to their eternal condemnation.
