Numbers 6.1-7.89; Mark 12.38-13.13; Psalm 49.1-20; Proverbs 10.27-28

May the Lord bless you and protect you.
May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.
May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace. (Num. 6.24-26, NLT)

How does this entire Psalm shape how we should view the wealthy, successful, and wicked?

How have you seen expectations of wickedness amount to nothing?
