Psalm 73
16When I thought how to understand this,
It was too painful for me -
17Until I went into the sanctuary of God;
(Then I understood their end.)
How often it is that I pridefully think I am trying to do things God's way, when actually I have not even stopped to seek His will, in prayer and meditation upon His word. I guess sometimes I just KNOW too much, that when a situation crops up which requires me to make a decision, the so-called 'default reaction' takes place subconsciously within me. And I fail to seek Him!
25Whom have I in heaven but You?
And there is nothing upon earth that I desire besides You.
26My flesh and my heart fail;
But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
