This Sunday, starting our summer series on Psalms, we will look into Psalm 73, where the psalmist, Asaph, wrestles with why the wicked seem to prosper while the righteous struggle. He begins by expressing his envy of the arrogant and wicked, who live in comfort and wealth despite their evil ways. Troubled by this apparent injustice, he almost loses his faith, feeling that following God is in vain.

However, when Asaph enters the sanctuary of God and reflects on His ultimate justice, his perspective shifts. He realizes that the wicked are on a slippery path and will eventually face destruction, while those who remain faithful to God will be guided and upheld by Him. Asaph concludes by reaffirming his trust in God, acknowledging that nothing is more valuable to him than God's presence, for God is his strength and refuge.
