But I am like an olive tree
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God's unfailing love
for ever and ever.
Don't you hate it when you see unholy and unrighteous people have the best luck? In this chapter David talks about a man named Doeg, he just sounds like a punk right? But David describes this man as being all about unrighteousness and stepping all over people to get ahead. David gives the impression that this man has it going for him. I guess in the eyes of the world he is living it up; its as if he's doing something right. We know this can be frustrating when we see it happen close to us. Like when you refuse to cheat on a test or homework because of God, but then your friend cheats and does a lot better than you. Of course there are more worse senarios I or you can come up with, but its all the same. But David talks about what he is going to do - live righteous. The verse ontop describes how David views himself with God even though he may not be "prospering" in this world. He waits on the Lord to rescue him. He says he will remain in God regardless of how enticing unrighteousness may be. Lets do the same
