Devotions - GOD DOES NOT ANSWER TO YOU

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 . . . until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I discerned their end. PSALM 73:1–3, 17

Reflections:

1. Supposition I: What do you suppose was running through the Psalmist mind when he entered the temple?

2. Supposition II: What do you suppose changed the Psalmist’s perspective after being in the presence of God?

3. Deep Question: How has your theology (e.g. how God works) changed since you first followed Jesus? How has it improved? Has your view of Jesus narrowed, or has your expectations lowered? Devote some time to pray over these questions… be gut level honest with yourself and with God.
