Psalm 73

Ps. 73, this morning rang in very true and encouraging to me. I get so frustrated when I see the evil in people around me prevail. Deceiving others, deceiving themselves, pulling me down with them. I ask God if he even sees, if he even cares, why do I always have to be the good one, the one to walk in righteousness, the one to love, when I get nothing in return, when evil threatens to destroy me, my family, my children. When I am fighting so hard for the approval of people, being my own defender, instead of God. That's the whole first part of this chapter, then comes verse 17, and the word until. Until I went into the house of the Lord, and I understood the end of this, the end of evil. Those things, those people, may prosper and "win" preceiveably everyday on this earth. But they will reach an eternal end and it won't be good. It actually will bring us to grieve for those people. To pray harder for them, give us the strength and courage to keep being Jesus even when everything in our flesh wants to fight against that. When the flesh wants to take over as our defender, when we must in this life "make it right, bring to light the sin". God sees even if no one else does, even if every person is deceived by the sin in peoples lives, and it hurts us, God still sees, he is still sovereign, he still is righteous, and he will and always does defend us. Verse 25 and 26, will be my strength in these hard days, hard times, in the middle of battle. "whom have I in heaven but you?And there is none upon earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart my fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
