Psalms 73:16-17 - "When I tried to understand all this, it troubled me deeply17 till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny."
David was troubled when he saw how the wicked prospered. He thought only the righteous should prosper. He didn't understand this he entered the sanctuary of God.
How often are we troubled by the things we see. We don't understand why God allows certain things. We don't understand the workings of God. We don't understand why certain things have happened to us or are happening to us. It doesn't make any sense to us. We become frustrated, distressed and maybe even resentful.
What must we do? We need to spend time in God's presence. As we worship the Lord, meditate on His Word, open our hearts to him in prayer, we will gain understanding. We will begin to look at these things through the eyes of the Father. As we sit at the masters feet he will teach us.
Sometimes we come out of God's presence and our questions may not be fully answered, but we will come out with a greater faith. We will no longer be frustrated, distressed or resentful, but encouraged. We will trust God knows what He is doing and His way is best.
Jesus said that those who seek me will find me. (Matt. 7:7-8) Those who call on my name I will answer. The answer to every question in life can only be found in Him. Yet. sometimes we are not ready for the answer. Sometimes we already have the answer, but unwilling to accept the answer.
