Proclamation:
“Yet I am always with You; You hold me by
my right hand. You guide me with Your
counsel, and afterward You will take me into glory.” Psalm 73:23-24 (NIV)
Explanation:
The words of the psalm were written under
the influence of The Holy Spirit of God by Asaph, a Levite who was an
outstanding musician in the days of King David who was also appointed minister
of music, or choir leader, in the center of worship in Jerusalem. Even though he had been tempted to sin
because he envied the prosperity of the wicked (Psalm 73:3) and was angry with
God for allowing them to prosper, (Psalm 73:21-22) The Lord God took him by the
hand, like we would do a small child, gave him wise counsel and led him to the
sanctuary.
Application:
After going through the temptations,
trials, and tribulations of our journey in the wilderness of this world, if we
would just follow the guidelines from The Word of God, The Lord will lead us to
His sanctuary. We need not concern
ourselves with what others have or are doing, we just need to pray and do that
which is right in the sight of The Lord. Then, after this life is over and we have passed
through death, He will receive us into His kingdom to enjoy everlasting joy in
His presence for eternity.
