Text: Psalm 73:1-28
Many times you are attempted to admire the wealth of others, even of those who are wicked, for they seem to enjoy life (vv. 1-16). The lives of the wicked may seem to be at ease as they “enjoy” the increase of their wealth (v. 12).
However, this changes the moment you seek the Lord for understanding. “Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I understood their end,” verse 17 (NKJV).
In the sanctuary of God you consult Scriptures as you pray to God, the truth is revealed; the wicked people should be pitied and not envied! The prosperity and happiness of the wicked is short and uncertain, it is indeed slippery ground (v.18). Their destruction is imminent, certain, sudden and great. It is therefore good for you to draw near to God and trust Him instead of comparing yourself
to the wicked (v. 28).
Meditate on verse 17. How are you going to apply it to your life?
My heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, help me always to be in Your sanctuary to worship You and consult Scriptures on how to behave especially when in distress. I choose to trust in You always. Amen.
