Psalm 73...

Watch out what you cling to
Observe how a King do
And I remain calm readin' the 73 Psalm
Cause wit all this going on
I got the world in my palm
You could get the money
You could get the power
But keep your eyes on the final hour-Lauryn Hill FINAL HOUR

Psalm 73: 2-28
2 As for me, my feet had almost turned aside,My steps had nearly been made to slip.
3 For I became envious of the boasters,[When] I would see the very peace of wicked people.
4 For they have no deathly pangs;And their paunch is fat.
5 They are not even in the trouble of mortal man,And they are not plagued the same as other men.
6 Therefore haughtiness has served as a necklace to them;Violence envelops them as a garment.
7 Their eye has bulged from fatness;They have exceeded the imaginations of the heart.
8 They scoff and speak about what is bad;About defrauding they speak in an elevated style.
9 They have put their mouth in the very heavens,And their tongue itself walks about in the earth.
10 Therefore he brings his people back hither,And the waters of what is full are drained out for them.
11 And they have said: "How has God come to know?And does there exist knowledge in the Most High?"
12 Look! These are the wicked, who are at ease indefinitely.They have increased [their] means of maintenance.
13 Surely it is in vain that I have cleansed my heartAnd that I wash my hands in innocence itself.
14 And I came to be plagued all day long, And my correction is every morning.
15 If I had said: "I will tell a story like that,"Look! against the generation of your sons I should have acted treacherously.
16 And I kept considering so as to know this;It was a trouble in my eyes,
17 Until I proceeded to come into the grand sanctuary of God.I wanted to discern their future.
18 Surely on slippery ground is where you place them.You have made them fall to ruins.
19 O how they have become an object of astonishment as in a moment![How] they have reached their end, have been brought to their finish through sudden terrors!
20 Like a dream after awaking, O Jehovah,[So] when arousing [yourself] you will despise their very image.
21 For my heart was souredAnd in my kidneys I was sharply pained,
22 And I was unreasoning and I could not know;I became as mere beasts from your standpoint.
23 But I am constantly with you;You have taken hold of my right hand.
24 With your counsel you will lead me, And afterward you will take me even to glory.
25 Whom do I have in the heavens? And besides you I do have no other delight on the earth.
26 My organism and my heart have failed. God is the rock of my heart and my share to time indefinite.
27 For, look! the very ones keeping away from you will perish. You will certainly silence every one immorally leaving you.
28 But as for me, the drawing near to God is good for me. In the Sovereign Lord Jehovah I have placed my refuge, To declare all your works.

I've got some very important work to do. I'll be around. I hope yall understand.

This reminds me of something I'm currently going through--looking at all the things everyone else has, but forgetting my own life plan and not concentrating on my purpose.

Job's words are wise.

Handle your business, D.
