Discuss Psalms 73 Page 2

Thanks be to God the father this psalms 73 is the making of me I felt every word of it is personal to me,

Anonymousplz, no one has family or loved ones waiting in heaven for them. As it is revealed many places in Scripture, after death we will remain in a state like we are "sleeping" until judgement day

um, sorry, but I think it means that he had no loved ones or family to greet him when he got to heaven.

Their eyes stand out with fatness...

Verse 25 shows that God is whom we have in heaven; no Catholic saints or the virgin Mary.

Verse 22~The psalmist here admits that he was like an unreasoning animal. He needed to really take time to think and reason things out so that he would have the right viewpoint.

Verse 17: Asaph was helped to get the right view when he went to the temple.

"But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked." This Psalm of Asaph is a great instruction for everyone who is feeling overwhelmed by the difficulty of the way, by their personal struggles and afflictions and griefs. The Lord will one day make us know all things, and why we had to suffer so much.

Psalms 73:25 "Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon the earth, that I desire beside thee." 28"But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I might declare all thy works." Amen. V.18"Surely didst thou set them in slippery places,thou cast them down into destruction."

"Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins." The commandment of God in its fullness and perfection, is that we take a course in life to maintain and cultivate a good and tender conscience; just as we strive WITH (not against!) the Holy Spirit which Jesus has given into our hearts, against the selfish and cowardly and corrupting influences of unlawful fleshly desires, and thinking.

"When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end." This wisdom and insight into some of the common hazards and snares put along our way, is very valuable when we might be put to the test about the difficulties we are set to encounter. We all know that murmuring is sin; but here we can understand its root and evil workings.

Verse 28 shows that it is good for us to draw near to God. We can only experience the benefits of drawing close to Jehovah God if we put forth the effort.

It's like Lazarus and the rich man, they get theirs here and now, ours must be delayed gratification which is hard to take at times.

this psalm is very enlightening "who have I in Heaven but YOU GOD" 'there is no one on earth that I desire"

It is so good and comforting to read the many brothers' and sisters' comments and praises of the Lord on this site. I just want to exhort everyone who loves the Lord Jesus, never, NEVER to give any place to the liar and the slanderer, as to whether or not you're being treated fairly by God. If He ordains us to suffer anything, He has a purpose in it, and He will give us our wages at the day's end.

What kind of spurious Christianity do so many have, who are seemingly so ready to give Jesus the back, flee like cowards, and lose heart because of the contradictions of the ungodly, or the difficulties of the way! "The cup which my Father has given me to drink, shall I not drink it?" And as it goes with our Master, we shouldn't expect better for ourselves. Is your treasure all in this evil time?

Like Asaph, seeing the wicked prosper can cause us to envy the wrongdoers or become discouraged and see no value in serving God, but verse 17 shows how meeting together with fellow believers can help us to fight this negative thinking by helping us to get God's viewpoint, readjusting our outlook, and giving us spiritual insight so that we can strengthen our faith and remain loyal to God.

AS WE DRAW NEAR TO GOD WE ARE APPROACHING HOLY GROUND.....AND THE MORE TIME WE SPEND WITH GOD THE MORE PEOPLE WILL KNOW IT.....EVEN DEMONS FEAR THOSE CLOSE TO GOD, YOU CAN SEE IT AS THEY DRAW BACK AND TURN FROM YOU AND WISH TO FLEE FROM YOU.....YES SINNERS KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE SPENT TIME WITH THE GOD OF GLORY...AMEN

We shouldn't be envious of those who are rich, because we know that God owns everything anyway. Jesus Christ is all we need.

There is a great calm that as come over my soul. It is good when you know God has heard you and he WILL set things right. Every smirk is about to go bye bye

Everyone wants to be wealthy rich,thus this chapter self explained itself exactly what happening in the world today,the richest became more abundant with wealth which God is just an object of waste,reminds me of the rich young ruler who came to Jesus which Jesus said it is easier for camel to through an eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter in the kingdom of heaven.

what was Asaph 's initial thinking like.How did it change what did it change

Jesus loves us and he will never stop loving us. He is our God and our Savior we must put our trust into God rather than put our confidence into man. Thanks to Jesus for sheding his precious blood to us we are now live because of Jesus forgiveness, his love and mercy endureth forever. He is God that never fail us he is with us all the time. We must walk with faith and not by sight, we must seek God first int our life and all things that we need will be added unto you. Thank you Jesus for being faithful to your promises Amen

this spoke to my situation perfectly I wept this morning as God gave me this scripture every word applies to me.HOW GRATEFUL I AM FOR GODS WORD

In other words - keep your eyes on the prize

Believers should hold onto God. We do not have same destiny with unbelivers .

A very humbling chapter. There are so many who need to read it.

It takes total submision 2 walk with God for how unsearchable are his judgements and his ways past finding out.

I have felt like David felt in this passage! Thank God for his word and the holy spirit who guides me and helps me to keep holding on when I feel like this and helps me to refocus and put my eyes back on the Lord!!!
