As we read some poetry/songs of Asaph, I am very impressed with his transparency regarding his faults. He found himself envious of people that seemed to have it all – wealth, easy life, power, do what every they want, etc. - and yet they doubted God. Honestly, I can relate to that. I have had that thought. “Those people don’t go to church or even claim to be Christian, and yet their life seems so great.”
But then he uncovers his concluding realization.
Psalm 73:16-17 When I pondered to understand this, It was troublesome in my sight 17 Until I came into the sanctuary of God; Then I perceived their end.
What a change of perspective that can happen when we consider
the end as opposed to the present. I desire to bear the attitude that I find in
verse 28, “But as for me, the nearness of God is my good…”.
What matters the most is …
