I don't care what kind of Christian you are, EVERY Christian has wondered if living for God is worth it. Those who say they haven't are lying. Everywhere you turn it seems like the wicked are doing better than God's people. Where they do that at? Christians are held to a higher standard but you would think that by living right, blessings would come down like rain (which they do) but some people have walked with God for years on end and have nothing to show for it. I read a tract that puts this into perspective: Working For God: The benefits & pay are low, but the retirement is out of this world. When I read that, I immediately confirmed my decision to stay close to God because although it seems like the wicked are prospering, they're not. The wicked are storing up their wealth for the righteous without realization, and they don't know it. Yes, life sucks but we live in a fallen world so that's to be expected. When you're living for Satan, he's already got you. When you're living for God, that's when you have a bull's-eye on you because the enemy will pull out all stops to get you to come over to his side. When you reject wisdom & correction constantly, you reach a point of no return which means you're on dangerous ground. I never want to reach the point of no return so that's why I have to stay soaked in the word. God's been too good to me for me to turn my back on him. Proverbs 2:22 says: Let the wicked be rooted out of the land. When you constantly reject correction & wisdom, you're considered wicked in God's eyes and will eventually be done away with.
