Biblical Reflections

Psalm 73 is a psalm of wisdom and the first psalm in Book 3.  Asaph struggles with the question of why do the wicked prosper.  Spoiler alert, ultimately the faithful and the wicked have different destinations.
 
1-3 – The wicked prospered and Asaph envied them.
 
4-12 – The wicked are free from the troubles that the faithful face on a daily basis.
 
13-15 – Asaph had bitter feelings and felt that he had lived a faithful life in vain.
 
16-17 – Asaph found the answer to his anguish in the sanctuary of God. 
 
18-20 – The destiny of the wicked is destruction.
 
21-28 – The destiny of the faithful is four-fold.  God is continually with us.  He holds our right hand in protection.  God guides us with counsel.  After death, God will take us into glory.  Our treasure is in heaven not in this world.  God is our strength and our inheritance forever.  In this life it is good to be near God, and to make him our refuge.
