Numbers 12:1-13:33; Proverbs 10:1-32; 1 Peter 2:1-25
Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. Psalm 73:17
The psalmist was distraught as he viewed the prosperity of evildoers. His perspective changed when he spent time in the Lord’s presence and saw their peril. He saw that the wicked are in a slippery place and headed for destruction and desolation. The writer also recognized that we as believers have limitless wealth. He recounts that through our salvation, we have the presence of God with us in life and the prospect of us in His presence in eternity (vv. 23-24). The wicked may have riches here but we have an eternal relationship with God. —Gary McBride
Take the world, but give me Jesus; sweetest comfort of my soul;
With my Saviour watching o’er me, I can sing tho billows roll. —Fanny Crosby
