Unjust Gain

Incline my heart ... not to unjust gain.

 - From Psalm 119

My recent refrain: focusing on Scriptures that are in the face of modern Scripture-Deniers.

Unjust gain. Is that not The Theme of the late 2010s? Isn't that what "The Other 98%" is all about? Aren't it's adherents certain that they know who has gain justly, and who hasn't? Well, to them it's easy. Anybody that is rich gained it unjustly. 

So let's reverse the fortunes of everybody in society. And a couple people claiming to speak for "The Other 98%" will still blame the imbalance of wealth on some unfair advantage. 

Envy is an ugly, ugly concept. But in America in 2017, it has been repackaged as beautiful, noteworthy, laudable. But then again, every ugly human trait has been re-branded, because people hate feeling guilty. And if we can't tame our own conscience, perhaps we can pass some laws.

The Psalmist shares his key to how to avoid unjust gain:

* Focus on God's law

Wow.

If we align with the Creator, we will find balance and peace. But again, here is something that makes sense. Isn't the most ecological, environmental, and nature-savvy thing to do . . . to connect with the Creator of it all?

A surprise to Bible-Deniers: God does not honor people that get unjust gain. But He would rather not you, and I, be the ones to point out the guilty. The truly charitable do so anonymously. And it's hard to separate envy (an ugly trait) from any pure motive for pointing out The Other 98%. So, let God do it, and protect a healthy blood pressure for yourself.
