"No evil shall befall the righteous, but the wicked are full of trouble." Proverbs 12
I once wrote about so-called bad luck. Everybody has problems, both Christians and people who do not keep God's Law.
The difference between the one and the other is that the Christian is like a soldier being exercised on the firing range to have his faith tested, when the man without Law gets his due for without Law and for doing evil.
Let's contrast this with quotes:
"And not only this, we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces patience," Romans 5.3
"Beside these things the Holy Spirit in every city assures me, that bonds and tribulations await me." Acts 20.23
Below the man withoutLaw:
"The righteous man hates false speech, but the ungodly man acts shamefully and shamelessly. (6) Justice guards the one who acts impeccably, but sin leads the wicked to perdition." Proverbs 13.
"A brave wife is the crown of her husband, but she who dishonors him is like the decay of his bones." Proverbs 12
"The righteous think about what is right, but the counsel of the ungodly is deceptive."
The words of the wicked are a lurking for blood, but the mouth of the righteous is a rescue for them.
(7) The wicked are struck down and are gone, but the house of the righteous will stand.
Without God's Word and a relationship with Jesus, we will not discern what is from whom and for what. This is compounded by the flogging from God of the godly:
Whom God loves, He chastens and experiences.
We must learn to evaluate this because evil often takes on a pretty package but betrays itself by lying and generally not keeping God's Law. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth and so all lying is not of God.
That's why every morning I say to myself, Father God, let your Spirit guide me, let your will and not mine be done.
c WILD age... 🙁
But how to explain the fact that the majority of people I have met and know do not give a damn about God or are Catholics who praise the Mother of God to the skies, and in their private, professional, health or materially they are doing superbly. Have they unconsciously sold their souls to the devil?
It looks roughly like this:

Thanks for the clarification 🙂 Oh, I see this movie stars Dean Cain 😉 Intriguing title, good storyline and it's available on chomikuj so I'll watch at my leisure. Will definitely strengthen your faith.
In Poland, a wealthy person (usually of the male sex) has rarely come to a GREAT wealth (wealth over 5 million dollars, no debt) by honest work, and often by mere combining and cunning (tax evasion, untimely settlements with contractors, swindling employees, etc.). )
Am 2:13-16 Behold, I will settle you in your place, as a cart loaded with sheaves settles down. And the swift shall not escape, and the strong shall not be strong, and even a hero shall not save his life: the hunter shall not be able to stand, and the swift runner shall not escape, and even a rider on horseback shall not save his life: even the bravest of heroes shall flee naked in that day, saith the Lord.
~We must learn to judge this because evil often takes on a pretty package but betrays itself by lying and generally disobeying the Law of God. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth and therefore all lying is not of God."
People often remember only one side and forget the other, that goodness also sometimes takes a messy wrapper. Great prudence is needed here.
To put it not very nicely, something ugly (the "g" word 😀 ) wrapped in colored paper will still remain that ugly something 🙂
And goodness can sometimes be inconspicuous, not distinguished by "nice" packaging :)[only I do not know too much, to what compare it to... :/ ]
Oh,Arturek,nice to "read" you,I have been praying for you brother.
Thank you for your prayers Wojtek.
Wouldn't you like to have an honest conversation about the situation in the second half of 2015? It might be worth clarifying something here, yes publicly. I would be happy to see a list of allegations that I could address and for what is true apologize and the lie be clarified.
Since my baptism in August until October 17, 2015, what have I done wrong from your point of view? Of course I know that I have done something wrong...I am however concerned with your point of view.
I just read your comment Arthur and I am in severe shock because I have no idea what you are writing about.
What allegations?
What would you do wrong?
It seems to me that there has been a colossal misunderstanding.
It's a shame that I'm only finding out about this now. I think it should be clarified as soon as possible.
What am I supposed to say now, Wojciecha? I offered to talk frankly...
Guys call each other 🙂 .
You wrote it as if you were implying insincerity, I am afraid that you are hiding something but I have no idea what it could be.
It looks to me like a demonic attack by Arthur's hands. Understatement, public grief. Demon action. And still no one knows what Arturo is about. Arthur, from now on I will not publish your comments on this issue. You have an e-mail to Wojtusio, so we can talk about it, because what you're doing is a manipulation and I'm sure you're not aware of it.
