(10 min.)
We could become envious of those not serving God (Ps 73:3-5; w20.12 51:14)
We can regain the proper viewpoint by joining our brothers in worship instead of isolating ourselves (Ps 73:17; Pr 18:1; w20.12 51:15-16)
Those not serving God are “on slippery ground”; those serving God are led “to glory” (Ps 73:18, 19, 24; w14 4/15 4 ¶5; w13 2/15 25-26 ¶3-5)
