The Bible does not preach EASY BELIEVEISM AND PROSPERITY GOSPEL. History abounds with stories of many Christians who suffered martyrdom, Many believers in Christ even died because of their faith. But, they lived and died believing that there is abundant life in Jesus...that there are green pastures for them even in the presence of enemies, yes, even in the midst of adversities. They believed there is a better life.
The Psalmst did experienced the pains, but he also enjoyed the gains of the FEAR OF THE LORD. He mentioned that the family of the upright will be blessed. And in verse 3, he said, "Wealth and rich SHALL BE in his house." WOW! God promises to bless those who love to praise the LORD...Fear the LORD...obey the Word of the LORD.
"I love them who love Me, and those who seek Me early shall find Me. Riches and honor are with Me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold...That I may cause those who love Me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures." Proverbs 8:17-21
