The Lord Our Strength and Portion

Theme: Followers of Christ must resist being envious of the wicked and turn their eyes and affections toward Christ.
In v. 1 we see that we need to resolve that God is good to His people. In vv. 2-15, we see the danger of envying the wicked. In vv. 16-20, we see the need to reject this illusion and seek God's presence. Finally in vv. 21-28, we see that we need to embrace the enjoyment of God. Wisdom tells us that we must be informed. We must put on our spiritual glasses and not believe the illusion that it out there - that the wicked, those who follow their own wills, wants, desires, and devices are prospering. They are not. It's an illusion. True life is found in Jesus Christ!
