How to Overcome Temptation, Part 125 (Envy) (Onward Christian Soldiers #249)
Psalms 73:1-3
By way of introduction, here is what the Bible Knowledge Commentary has to say about this passage: “Asaph began this psalm by affirming that though God is good to those in Israel who trust Him and are pure in heart, he himself nearly slipped in his confidence in the Lord. The psalmist emphasized his own situation by beginning four verses with the Hebrew expression translated But as for me. His offense was that he was envious of the prosperity of the wicked. Why should the people who oppose God be better off than those who trust Him? This problem was so overwhelming he almost lost faith in God’s goodness.”
