Don't Believe the Hype!

Bling, bling, bling

You can't seem to walk down the street without noticing the lifestyles of the rich and famous. They will have on the latest in fashion apparel; the Nike Jordan's retro edition, skinny jeans and a coordinated color top. Some may even drive fancy cars; you know the ride with the blended two-tone custom paint job with a ting of pearl gleaming from the summer sun. Oh yeah, don’t forget about the 23 inch chrome wheels with low profile tires that just scrapes the bottom of the body frame. All while listening to a 900 watt 9.2 stereo surround sound car system complete with lights! Sweet things must be happening.

If we take a closer look into the lives of these people you may find a completely different image. You may find hurt, pain, and bitterness due to the toils that come with living. You may find fear, agony, or intense stress due to the choices that were made that continues to haunt them day and night. This person appears to be working through their challenges one day at a time. Although using methods that are not biblically sound. The believer may look on the outward appearance of this group and think that all is well with this person.

David writes in the Psalm, "but as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well-nigh slipped. For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked." He continues in the latter part of the same verse, "until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood their end; thou didst set them in slippery places." David recognizes the hype of what was going on around him, which was the prosperous lifestyle of those without God. Those without God turn to solutions that are material and many times do not address the essence of the problem. We can begin to resolve that using non-biblical solutions to our problems will result in more trouble. When we begin to try Jesus solutions to daily challenges we find that it breads success in a peaceful manner.
