Psalms 73

Think this is a good one to share............

Read a little book by RBC Ministries- "Why is life so unfair? Psalms 73" describing about sometimes, we agree with the cynic who observed that "no good deeds goes unpunished". And we find ourselves embittered by the inequality and injustice that show up on every page of human experience.Psalms 73 dessribe Asaph, a man who feel life is so unfair to him where all things seems to favour less-principle people, while he is the one that trusted God, faithfully serve him.

Psalms 73
Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold.
For i envied the arrogant when i saw the prosperity of the wicked.
They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong.
They are free from the burdens common to man; they are not plagued by human ills.
Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence.
From their callous hearts comes iniquity; the evil concenits of their minds know no limits.
They scoff and speak with malice' in their arrogance they threaten oppression.
Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.
Therefore their people turn to them and drink up waters in adundance.
They say, How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?"
This is what the wicked are like-always carefree, they increase in wealth.
Surely in vain have i kept my heart pure; in vain have i washed my hands in innocence.
All day long i have been plagued; I have been punished every morning.
If i had said,"I will speak thus," I would have betrayed your children. When i tried to understand all this, it was oppressive to me til i entered the sanctuary of God; Then i understod their final destiny.
Surely you place them on slippery ground; you cast them down to ruin.
How suddenly are they destroyed, completely swept away by terrors!
As a dream when one awakes, so when you arise, O Lord, you will despise them as fantasies.
When my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered,
I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before you.
Yet i am always with you; you hold me by my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory.
Whom have i in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Those who are far from you will perish' you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.
But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.



It begins with his expression and honesty to admit a depth of disillusionment and he felt betrayed not only by life but by God. And he said "Why is this happening to me? I have trusted God of our fathers. I have tried to remain faithful to my God. I have tried to make good choices. Yet, I am overwhelmed with trouble while less-principled people prosper. It just isn;t fair!" And until a certain point, Asaph wondered if his pursuit of living for God had been worthless. Asaph was a man who bore the weight of leadership. He was David's chief musician, as well as being a songwriter and a prophet (1 Chr. 16:5; 25:2; 2 Chr. 29:30). He was a man of spiritual influence, who was beginning to doubt the goodness of the God he led people to worship. Such a position carried with it a great responsibility because of its influence. Along with the privilege of such a position went the burden of how that position was used to impact people's lives. Asaph wanted to abandon all he had been committed to. But he looked ahead and saw the negative impact such a choice would have on those around him. All shortsightedness and spiritual failure is dangerous. But the potential harm is compounded by the magnitude of the person's scope of influence. Asaph wanted to vent his anger and frustration at the injustice and unfairness of life, but he stopped short. He resisted expressing all that was in his heart because it could cause great hurt and disillusionment in the people of God he was responsible for.Refer Verse 15. He held back from declaring all this fears. This serves as a reminder to us as well, for we too must be discerning. With whom do we share our angry concerns, fears, doubts, and crises? There is a great danger of doing thoughtless damage to someone who is young in the faith. Lastly, the quality of the answers we receive depends on where we turn for those answer. In verse 17, until he move into the sanctuary of God, Then he understood... Sanctuary suggest the idea of a place set apart for spiritual protection, rest and renewal. With a renewed vision of God, asaph found that lesser issues came into focus.What did Asaph learn from his struggles?1.) God is more important than anything else in life.(V25)2.) God is all the strength we need.(V26)3.) God will be as fair as he is merciful. (V27)4.) God draws near to those who draw near to him. (V28)The bible doesn't promise believers a life free of pain, difficulthy, or loss. Christians are not exempt from struggle, heartache, or disappointment. The bible promises those believers that they will have a Companion on the journey to help, encourage, and strengthen them in whatever may come their way. "I will never leave you nor forsake you. " So we may boldly say:"The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" (Hebrew 13:5-6)
