Text Sermons : Thomas Brooks : The prosperity of the wicked

Open as PDF

Oh you who have God for your portion, do not envy, do
not fret and vex, at the prosperity of the wicked; for
even though they have more than their heart can wish,
even though they live in pleasure and wallow in all carnal
and sensual delights—yet they have a sad account to give
to God, and they shall pay dearly at last for all their worldly
enjoyments! For without sound repentance on their part,
and pardoning grace on God's part, they shall forever lose
their immortal souls!

O sirs, remember that Lazarus did not fret nor fume because
Dives had robes for his rags; and delicacies for his scraps.
Lazarus very well knew that though he was without any earthly
good—yet he was not without God. He had a guard of glorious
angels to transport his holy, precious, heaven-born soul into
Abraham's bosom. He knew that it was better to beg on earth,
than to beg in hell.

O sirs, what is . . .
darkness compared to light,
earth compared to heaven,
chaff compared to wheat,
tin compared to silver,
dross compared to gold, or
pebbles compared to pearls?
No more are all earthly portions compared to that God
who is the saints' portion; and, therefore, let not the
saints, who have such a matchless portion, envy the
prosperity and felicity of wicked men.
