Psalm 37:16-24

Our well being is not to be judged by how much we have, but by how well we know the Lord. We can be assured that the power of the wicked will one day be broken.
If we trust the Lord then we live our lives under His protection. Right now you are living under His protection. He will provide for us in times of difficulty. We do not need to fear what the world fears, for the Lord is on our side.
It is those who oppose us who will perish. A feature of the wicked is that they do not handle money righteously. We can see this all too clearly, from petty to major crimes, from large scale corruption to benefit fraud. Conversely, we are to give generously.
Success depends upon the Lord. He will make out steps firm, and even if we sometimes stumble, He will uphold us. Sometimes we can get ourselves in tizz over having to get everything just right and not making any mistakes. Our success does not depend upon us getting everything right, but upon the grace and goodness of God.
