Title: From Troubled to Transformed (6)
Series: Summer in the Psalms
Author: Josh Malone
Text: Psalm 73
- Have you ever looked out at the world ... and seen people that do not love God, honor God, or obey God ... prospering ... and get envious? Or ask ... why? - Maybe you've seen someone who you thought of as an awesome, godly person ... and tragedy strikes them ... meanwhile a person you view as ungodly, unrighteous, even wicked ... seems to have it easy. - Has it ever perplexed you? Troubled you? Made you envious? - DO YOU EVER THINK THE WORLD FEELS UNJUST?
- This is the case of the psalmist today. - He's going to tell us he almost lost his faith over this. He almost slipped, stumbled ... it was almost too much for him to bear.
- I want us to see how in Psalm 73 we can go from TROUBLED to TRANSFORMED. - No believer should envy the wicked, even when things go well for him or he and bad for the godly. - We have a treasure and a hope greater than anything this world has to offer ... and the wicked will have no share in that unless they repent.
- Today's psalm is meant to be an encouragement to the godly, to the believer ... to be TRANSFORMED not TROUBLED.
Psalm 73:1-28 - 1Truly God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. 2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled, my steps had nearly slipped. 3 For I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For they have no pangs until death; their bodies are fat and sleek. 5 They are not in trouble as others are; they are not stricken like the rest of mankind. 6 Therefore pride is their necklace; violence covers them as a garment. 7 Their eyes swell out through fatness; their hearts overflow with follies. 8 They scoff and speak with malice; loftily they threaten oppression. 9 They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongue struts through the earth. 10 Therefore his people turn back to them, and find no fault in them. 11 And they say, "How can God know? Is ...
