Psalm 73 is a picture of what happens when we try to make sense of the world around us in light of the truth according to God.
Talking Points:
- The truth about God is that he’s always good to his people. But it’s confusing when he doesn’t act as we think he should. Psalm 73:1-3
- The truth about others is that God will deal with them in his way. The more time you spend with God, the more you’ll understand the bigger picture. Psalm 73:15-20
- The truth about you is that you’ve got your own problems to deal with. The solution to those problems is nearness to God. Psalm 73:21-28
