Psalm 73

. . . it seemed hopeless
until I entered God’s sanctuary.
Then I understood their destiny.

I completely understand (or maybe more accurately, I relate with deep affinity) the Psalmist’s struggle and perspective in this Psalm.

I know I must declare God’s goodness and I must hold onto His faithfulness. He is the LORD, the creator, the sustainer, the judge, the redeemer.

But sometimes, life seems wonky. The people who seem to love and obey Him least, appear to “have it all.” And those who trust the Lord, who rely on Him – suffer.

Why?

Well, in worship I glimpse a part of the answer. The destiny of those who do not trust God is as sure as the salvation of those who do trust Him. Eternity – life with Him – not any material, temporal, life now is what matters.

In Him we are secure – forever.

Praise God!
