Read Proverbs 24:19&20  Sometimes we are frustrated in doing the right things.  We have to do so many things.  We have to make our beds.  We have to do our school work and do our house work.  We have to set the table and take out the trash and feed the dog and…  well you understand.  Often we see a friend of ours who doesn’t have to do very much around the house.  They may not have to do chores or make their beds every day.  Their mother is easy on them.  Often we are jealous of them.  The word used here in our first verse is envious.  Envious means that we wish we were in their place.  But remember, your friend will grow up lazy and will not know how to work.  We need to learn how to work when we are young so that when we grow up into a man or woman, we know how to work.  Growing up lazy is one thing, but growing up wicked is far worse.  Our second verse says that there is a sad day coming for the wicked man.  Solomon uses an example of a candle.  Just like we snuff out the flame of a candle before we go to bed at night, the wicked will be snuffed out some day and be gone.  There is a reward for someone who obeys God, but there is no reward for someone who does not serve God.  Remember to trust God and you’ll never be sorry that you did!
