Wrestling in God's Presence: Morning Devotions with Mike Neelley: Psalm 73

Mike asks: What do you do when what you believe about how God works in the world doesn’t connect with what you see happening?

Psalm 73 (ESV): God Is My Strength and Portion Forever

A Psalm of Asaph.

Truly God is good to Israel,
    to those who are pure in heart.
But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled,
    my steps had nearly slipped.
For I was envious of the arrogant
    when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

Deuteronomy 28:1, 15 (ESV)

Blessings for Obedience

“And if you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.

Curses for Disobedience

15 “But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord your God or be careful to do all his commandments and his statutes that I command you today, then all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you.
