Psalm 73:16-28
RECEIVED BY GOD WITH HONOUR
You guide me with Your counsel, and afterwards You will take me into glory. Psalm 73:24, NIV
Two strong themes are presented in today's text.
(1) The wicked prosper,leaving faithful people wondering why they bother to be good and
(2) The faithful appear to have been unfortunate because they choose to live faithfully.
Apparently, in our daily experiences, we are always bothered by these issues. But, the Psalmist presents us with a yardstick to measure these conflicting issues. The yardstick is the end. The end will justify the means! The 'final destiny' of the wicked is destruction but for the faithful, God is their 'final destiny'.
The lesson today is that you should never be carried away by the seeming 'prosperity' of the wicked. Rather, let your heart be at peace that you are doing the will of God. Let God guide you in all you do. He knows the right way to a glorious destiny. Do not be deceived to put your hope in momentary material things. Every time you are getting carried away by the progress of the wicked, run into God's presence as the Psalmist did. The glory of God will be your latter end.
