Psalm 1 - Sometimes it's hard for me to believe this psalm when I see the wicked prospering in this life. Is there other Scripture that can help us navigate this?
Proverbs 17:1-28 - 5Whoever mocks the poor insults his Maker, 9Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends. 10A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred blows into a fool.
John 16:17-33 - Jesus says, "take heart, I have overcome the world" shortly before he is going to be crucified. He doesn't say I will overcome the world, it's as good as done. This is also our hope even when the world around us is full of tribulation. Jesus has indeed risen and is bringing back with him a new creation. He has overcome the world.
