There’s an implicit question that first rolls off of the forked tongue of the serpent in Eden. And it was Adam and Eve’s response to this question that plunged all of humanity into a world filled with sin and death in Genesis 3. It is a question facing the people of God in every age: is God good? Psalm 73 explores this question by considering a particular struggle in the life of a believer: the temptation to see the prosperity of the wicked, compare it to their own suffering, and contemplate defecting to the dark side. And so, the hope of the psalmist for us today is that we would be strengthened to see the foolishness of envying the wicked as we learn to live by faith and not by sight in the promises of a good and just God.
