Understanding God's Justice2
(How to Understand the Kjv Bible) 27 Psalm 73
By Keith Simons3927:54PSA 73:1PSA 73:17PSA 73:23Keith Simons explores Psalm 73, where Asaph grapples with the apparent prosperity of the wicked compared to the struggles of the righteous. Asaph confesses his envy towards the seemingly successful wicked, questioning the fairness of God's justice. However, upon entering the sanctuary of God, he gains insight into their ultimate fate and realizes that true prosperity lies in a relationship with God. The sermon emphasizes that while the wicked may appear to thrive, their end is destruction, while the faithful are guided and ultimately rewarded by God. Simons encourages believers to trust in God's goodness and to draw near to Him.
Jeremiah 12:1
By Chuck Smith0PSA 73:3JER 12:1Chuck Smith addresses the profound questions of faith in his sermon 'BUT, WHY GOD?' using Jeremiah 12:1 as a foundation. He explores Jeremiah's struggle with God's justice, emphasizing that while Jeremiah acknowledges God's righteousness, he grapples with the prosperity of the wicked and the delay of divine judgment. Smith highlights that God's response to Jeremiah is not an explanation but a call to strengthen his faith, reminding us that understanding may not always be granted, but trust in God's plan is essential. Ultimately, the sermon encourages believers to brace themselves for challenges and to rely on God's past victories as assurance for future trials.
