Imagine being a billionaire and looking around you noticed that you had more wealth then many of the countries of the world combined. It might lead you to feel a tiny bit guilty or wanting to find an explanation for it.

Imagine on the other hand that you’ve been busy working your tail off and yet you remain a financial slave to the company you work for and the banks. When you compare yourself to others who have had some breaks you feel like justice is missing. You also may be left pondering a reason to explain this injustice in the world.

Many people from many various economic, social and religious backgrounds have done just that. Their answers to the questions of injustice have been all over the map and some have been outright discouraged by it all. This series will attempt to explain what God has promised and to whom. It should be a comfort to everyone who looks to do good and sees God in His Creation and in His Word.

For Christians of all stripes we have read and understand 2 Corinthians 10:12, "We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise."

Obviously when we compare ourselves with others who have more it can lead to envy, jealousy and lust. It can also lead to depression and worse, especially when we compare our physical abilities and looks. On the other hand, if you have been gifted with tremendous physical stature and looks it can lead to pride and arrogance. All of these responses on both sides are sin – transgressions of God’s laws. All of those responses have their own negative consequences in life and are not wise.

In the book of Job it eloquently expresses a search for wisdom so that we are not foolish.

In this series I will explore the futility of mans search for wisdom to explain who is blessed and who is not and then what the Word of God clearly states in comparison. I believe if you don’t just believe this blindly but search the scriptures to see if what is said is in fact correct – you will find wisdom and know that God has left YOU a blessing of untold wealth.

In order to set the groundwork for what is coming I would like to set down the two facts that this series is based upon. The first is that God created the Heavens and the Earth. Evolution is a bad theory with ZERO, nil, not one iota of OBSERVABLE OR PROVABLE FACT.

"And God said, Let us <Father and Jesus – His Son> make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth (this would include ALL animals). So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

Genesis 1:26-27

We didn’t evolve into being. Science proves that life comes from life not from rock. Science proves the laws that govern our universe – they didn’t just evolve – observable science actually disproves this possibility. Either the Universe just poof happened from nothing or God designed it and He did that for a purpose – to make man in His image.

The second thing is that the Word of God is the Word of God not just a collection of stories. There is much scientific proof of this in archeology but from a mathematical perspective it would be worse odds then 1:in a billion, billion, billion that the prophecies of Jesus as the Messiah could have come true – even if he was just a great man as the Jews, Muslims and Anti-Christ John Shelby Sponge followers and just trying to make these prophecies come true that would be the odds. Not just improbable but would be considered utterly ridiculous with respect to any other subject. But this is subject for another series. This series is based on the Word of God being just that the Word of God.

In the early 1700s England was becoming morally corrupt yet over the next century they turned it around and became exceedingly great. During a visit by an Ambassador, Queen Victoria was asked, what is the cause of Britain’s greatness? She responded by pointing at a Bible on her desk and saying, "tell your Prince that this book <the Bible> is the secret of England’s greatness".

Before the American Declaration of Independence was written John Wycliffe wrote, "The Bible is for the government of the people, by the people, and for the people."

With that same respect for the Word of God we will examine the Holy Scriptures for insight on this fascinating subject that will lead you into a simple and clear understanding of what God expects from you and what He has promised to you!
