All of my days I've tried my best...and in return I reap pain, tears, and dust -- at least from a worldly perspective.
Yet when I read the Bible, I see that Jesus's first disciples experienced the same...because Satan owns this world system and is working against those who follow God and live righteously.
Though I don't have much to show for my efforts in terms of wealth, prestige, or fame...I sense spiritually that the work of sanctification is not in vain. Rather than being ahead in life as I expected after playing by the rules and trying so hard to "be good," I am behind. Why don't all of the correct steps established by society lead to victory?
The Babylon system is deceptive...rewarding wicked people and returning evil for good. There is so much deception in the world. Align my thoughts and perspective with truth, Lord.
Despite all of the chaos surrounding me, may I operate from the right hand of God, the secret place of the Most High.
