- But when I thought how to understand this, it seemed to me a wearisome task, until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I discerned their end. Psalms 73:16-17 – This psalm looks at the apparent success and wealth of those who choose a path of not following God compared to that of a faithful follower. We see the psalmist confused and overwhelmed trying to understand this on his own. Then he went to God with it all and found the understanding he was seeking. We too will run into confusing things in life and find ourselves overwhelmed trying to understand them on our own. Know God is inviting you to come to Him with your questions and confusion. He can help give answers and new ways to view this life. Don’t find yourself weary trying to understand life when the Creator of life is available to seek answers from.

- When my soul was embittered, when I was pricked in heart, I was brutish and ignorant; I was like a beast toward you. Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. Psalm 73:21-23 – The psalmist is reflecting on the state of his heart towards God in the past. Bitter and ignorant of who he was speaking to. It even says he was like a beast toward God. Meaning just like an animal who can’t have any connection with God like humans can, he was in complete disconnect from God in his reactions. Not thinking of God at all in how he was responding, feeling, thinking, or speaking. Nevertheless, God never left him. Even when the psalmist rejected connection with God, God pursued connection with him. Maybe your heart isn’t as bitter towards God as our psalmist, but whatever lack of connection you have with God right now know God is still plugged in deeply to your life. The disconnect isn’t on God’s side and He’ll never step away from you even in your brutish attitude towards Him. Know anytime you want to seek connection with God again He’s ready, waiting, and welcoming you back to Himself. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2033
