When the Ungodly Prosper – Psalm 73

When the Ungodly Prosper – Psalm 73

Have you ever wondered if following Jesus is worth it? In Psalm 73, the Psalmist observes around him ungodly people who prosper in life, and he is tempted to envy them: they have it better, easier, and happier. He looks at his own life, and wonders if he he has been faithful to God in vain. The Psalmist moves from a certain conviction (v1), to a (seeming) conflicting reality (2-15), to a changed perspective (16-28).
