A Psalm for Today: Psalms 73: 3
For I was envious of the boastful, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
I am sure many of us as Christians have experienced this type of envy. You struggle and have difficulties as you try to walk uprightly and maintain your integrity. You do what is right even when it hurts. You look around and you see immoral people prospering. Seemingly, they have no troubles and you think it's not fair. If we focus on the temporal we will always be subject to external circumstances. If we focus on the eternal we recognize that there is a judgement coming for the wicked. Our reward is eternal. The psalmist was snapped back to eternal reality when he stepped into the sanctuary and encountered the presence of God. He saw the end of the wicked and realized that God is our eternal reward. In His presence is fullness of joy and at His right hand are pleasures for evermore.
