"But you've made me strong as a charging bison, you've honored me with a festive parade. The sight of my critics going down is still fresh, the rout of my malicious detractors. My ears are filled with the sounds of promise: 'Good people will prosper like palm trees, grow tall like Lebanon cedars; transplanted to God's courtyard, they'll grow tall in the presence of God, lithe and green, virile still in old age.'"
Sometimes it seems like evil people are the happiest people in the world and are prospering more than good people. But God will keep His promise. The good people will win in the end. Things won't be unfair forever. The wicked people will fall apart, while the good ones will prosper like palm trees, which can bend under the pressure of storms and spring right back into place. God doesn't promise to make things easy and give us everything we want, but He does promise to make us strong enough to handle anything that comes our way. And sometimes things are easy and we do get what we want.
