Read Psalm 73:16-18. The psalmist went to a peaceful setting of Jehovah's sanctuary. There, he was able to think clearly. He discerned that even though life of some might be east, their long-term future was precarious. With this insight, he found peace of mind, knowing that pursuing spiritual things was the very best decision. As a result, he renewed his determination to continue serving Jehovah. - PSALM 73:23-28.
You can find similar peace if mind with the help of God's Word. How? Contemplate the value of what you have-including treasures in heaven-and compare this the outcome of those whose only reward is what this world has to offer. They may completely rely on their achievements in this life, because they anticipate nothing else in the future. For you, however, Jehovah promises blessings far beyond anything you could ever imagine. (Psalm 145:16) Also, consider this: Can we ever really know how our life would have turned out if we had made different decisions? One thing is certain: Those who make choices based on their love of God and love of neighbor never miss out on anything that is truly good.
