Psalm 73

Commentary

This psalm is a powerful reminder that faith is not always easy, and that even the strongest believers can sometimes get discouraged and envious. Asaph's candid admission of his struggles is refreshing and reassuring, for it shows that we are not alone in our doubts and temptations. More importantly, it shows that God is gracious and faithful, and that He will never abandon us or let us down. As we read this psalm, let us take heart and be reminded that our ultimate reward is not in earthly success, but in the eternal joy of being in the presence of God.
