Psalm 73:21-26

How often have I felt similar to Asaph in verses 1-14? Why do the wicked prosper? Why do they seem to get a "free" pass?

Only to run across verses 15-20. Do I betray you and other believers when I go into the preceding rant? When will I learn to control my feelings/tongue in this regard. Thankfully, I don't get "wrapped around" this axle daily.

Verse 21 sends me to Psalm 51:10-12, make me new, don't send me from your presence, restore me and make me willing to obey. Please remove the bitterness from my heart so I can worship you in spirit and in truth.

Verse 22, how foolish and ignorant am I, verse 22, but I still belong to you you hold me in your right hand...
I am pushed back to Psalm 69 and see how David recounts one of his dilemmas.
Save me from my circumstances...
All of this to remember that His timing isn't my timing, His ways are not my ways...
Can I go beyond David???
verse 5, you know I'm foolish; my sins aren't hidden from You
I want my wrong doings forgiven and remembered no more...
Can I go the extra mile as Jesus recommends???
Forgiving those who trespass against me...
Will I pray for those who persecute me, or will I ask God to send down His fire???
Can I lay it all out there like Steven did and forgive the crowd as they were stoning him???
Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but can I be a witness to the grace of God to those around me???
Will others see God's mercy???
Will they see Him as my shelter???
Will I tell others of the wonderful things He has done for those who call upon His name???
May it be so that others will see He has saved me from the rising waters and sticky mess of my disobedience so I can reach the promised land and they will take heart in the fact that if He did it for me He will do it for them...
May His light shine in the darkness so we can see things as He sees them and adjust accordingly.
In Jesus name, Amen.
