Read Psalms 73 and 77.
In Psalm 73, the soul looks out, And reasons on what it sees there, namely, successful wickedness, and suffering righteousness. What is the conclusion? “I have cleansed my heart in vain.” So much for looking out.
In Psalm 77, the soul looks in, and reasons on what it finds there. What is the conclusion? “Hath God forgotten to be gracious?” So much for looking in.
Where then should we look? Look up—straight up, and believe what you see there. What will be the conclusion? You will understand the “end” of man, and trace the “way” of God.
“When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.” Psalm 73:16, 1716When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; 17Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. (Psalm 73:16‑17).
“Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary; who is so great a God as our God?” Psalm 77:1313Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? (Psalm 77:13).
