UNTIL means “up to such time as” or “up to the time that” an

                action takes place.  The writer of this Psalm found himself in a very bad

                situation.  He was in a position where his faith and humanity were at war

                within his mind.  He knew that God had been good to Israel (73:1) and

                praised God for it.

                               

                                His problem was that he felt like the unbeliever, the heathen,

                “the ungodly” were experiencing a better life than he did.

 

                                He must have questioned the wisdom of serving God in a

                world where the “ungodly” seemingly prospered.  He was very troubled

                about this UNTIL he went into the sanctuary of God.  It was only then

                that he saw things as they really were.  How long did he suffer?  He

                suffered and anguished UNTIL!.

 

                                What are you suffering with right now in your life?

 

                                We know that we will suffer many things in this life (Job 14:1)

                before we die. How long do we intend to suffer mentally/spiritually about

                our (or other people’s) condition (s)?  The answer is this, we will suffer

                UNTIL - until we decide to go into the counsel and sanctuary of God

                rather than lean on our own understanding (Prov 3:5).

 

                                Jesus told us that He could handle our problems (Matt 11:28-30).

 

                                Are you ready for your UNTIL?
