Keeping My Heart in Check


Listen Later

This sermon centers on the struggle of faith in the face of apparent injustice, using Psalm 73 as a lens to explore the tension between the prosperity of the wicked and the suffering of the righteous. It identifies the core issue as a crisis of perspective—when believers allow their hearts to be consumed by frustration over worldly conditions rather than trusting in God's ultimate justice. The turning point, revealed in David's journey to the sanctuary of God, is not a change in circumstances but a divine recalibration of vision: shifting focus from the temporary, deceptive appearances of the present to the eternal, certain realities of God's judgment and provision. The message calls for a daily, intentional retreat into God's presence to undergo spiritual examination, conviction, and renewal, emphasizing that true strength comes not from external circumstances but from abiding in God, whose presence is the believer's eternal portion. Ultimately, the sermon urges a posture of faith rooted in God's sovereignty, where the believer's heart is kept in check not by ignoring the world's chaos, but by fixing eyes on the One who holds all things together.
