INTRODUCTION. Psalms 73 is the testimony of Asaph who struggled with the issue concerning the prosperity of the wicked. As he reflected on life, he became deeply disturbed. How could a just God allow unrighteous people to prosper while righteous people struggled? He was tempted to think that God was either unjust or weak. God was unwilling to uphold justice or He was unable to do it. In Asaph’s mind, it seemed that godly people like him were being good for no reason. Asaph had much to learn about God’s justice, just like we do. In this week’s lesson, we trace Asaph’s journey from frustration to faith, from doubt to determination. He learned from his experience and taught in this psalm that faith in the just God gives us stability even during times of injustice.
