In this episode of the "Faith with Friends" podcast, host Lisa Lorenzo continues the series titled "40 Days of Seeking More of Jesus" by examining Psalm 73. The episode unpacks the emotional and spiritual journey of Asaph, a worship leader in Israel, as he grapples with the prosperity of the wicked and the seeming futility of his own righteous living. Asaph's moment of revelation comes when he enters God's sanctuary, leading him to a profound transformation and deeper understanding of God's presence and priorities.The episode invites listeners to reflect on their personal spiritual journeys, using Asaph's experiences as a guide. Lisa explores themes of faith, worship, and perseverance, encouraging listeners to find solace and clarity in worship, even when faced with life's uncertainties and injustices. Through this discussion, the podcast emphasizes the importance of authentic expression and dependence on God as a source of strength and clarity. Worship, Lisa suggests, is not merely a response to resolved issues but a pathway to understanding and peace, echoing Asaph's eventual conclusion that God is an eternal reward and source of true satisfaction.Key Takeaways:Worship is a means to gain clarity and perspective, not just a response to resolving life's challenges.Authentic faith involves acknowledging doubts and struggles, openly bringing them before God to facilitate spiritual growth.Asaph's journey in Psalm 73 underscores that true satisfaction and strength are found in God alone, beyond worldly prosperity.Drawing near to God transforms bitterness and confusion into worship and understanding.Living a faithful life holds spiritual rewards that surpass any temporary worldly successes or pleasures.Notable Quotes:"Worship is not the reward for clarity; it's the path to clarity.""My flesh and my heart might fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.""God is our reward. So worship before the answer comes.""Being far away from God is not freedom. It is an invitation to destruction."

Have you ever asked yourself why good things happen to bad people? Why does it seem like the wicked get to experience and enjoy money, rewards and prosperity while the righteous suffer and always seem to be enduring some sort of hardship or struggle? Many people believe that once you become a Christian, your life is perfect and everything always goes well with you. That is just simply not the reality! Check out this episode of THE INDOUBT SHOW with host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with pastor and author Jim Osman where they unpack the realities of life and how worldly prosperity that the wicked enjoy could be a part of their very judgement!
Exodus 19 tells us that it was on the third new moon of the year that the Israelites arrived at Sinai, to worship God as Moses had been told in Exodus 3. Calculations reveal that the 10 commandments were given 50 days after the Passover (hence the New Testament name for the Feast for this occasion, Pentecost). In verses 4-6 Yahweh reminds Israel of His might exercised on their behalf and His care for His people. He was like a mother eagle: Deuteronomy 32 verses 5-13. Israel were called to holiness; to be a kingdom of priests to bring the nations to the God of Israel. The same is true for believers now (1 Peter 2verses 5-6).Verses 7-15 tell us that the waiting Israelites must reverently prepare for the coming awesome occasion when God would deliver the ten commanding words to His people. They were terrified by the prospect. But were even more disturbed by the events of that day. The writer to the Hebrews described these events in chapter 12 verses 18-21, but we also find by contrast the wonderful situation for faithful believers in Christ Jesus (Verses 22-28). The drama of the day when the Law was first given is captured by the build up reconstructed in verses 16-24. So terror struck were the people that they pleaded for Moses to speak with God in order that they die not.Chapter 20 enumerated the Ten Commandments. They started with those which outlined their responsibilities to God and concluded with those duties to their fellow human beings (Matthew 22 verses 34-40). The first is our priority – God must be first in our lives (Interestingly the 10th teaches us the same lesson – “You shall not covet”. Anything which takes our love away from God; anything which reduces our service to Him is an idol Colossians 3:1-5, emphasis on verses 5; Luke 12 verses13-21;and 1 John 5 verses 19-21. Interestingly the second commandment in verse 4 of Exodus 20 is “You shall not make graven images” is omitted in the Catholic Bible, which breaks the tenth commandment into two in that version. This is unsurprising as nearly all Catholic Churches are filled with icons and images which they worship. The fourth commandment's principles have been important from the beginning of creation; but, also interestingly enough, is the only commandment to not be reiterated in the New Testament. The fifth commandment also is unique in that it is the only command with a blessing that accompanies its observance – “Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long on the earth”: Ephesians 6verses 1-4. Paul tells us that God places great importance on this command, and therefore we ought to take great care to carry it out. Commandments 6-10 appear to be negative don't do this, don't do that. But consider the import of what they taught to the spiritually minded – Romans 12 verses12-21;James 2:8-13. So, although the Law of Moses given to the Israelites at Sinai is not binding on believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, the principles of the Ten Commandments are enduring and teach us how we should live in this present evil world; as we await the coming of our King. For those commandments were written by “the finger of God”: Exodus 31 verse18. Verses 22 to the end of Exodus 20 describe the construction of, and worship at, altars. They were to be made from whole stones shaped by God without human embellishments – speaking of Christ,our altar: Hebrews 13 verses10-16. No flesh was to be exposed by any worshipper, telling us of the devotion and reverence needed when drawing near to our God.
Today's episode dives into the mystical works of God, and what our approach should be for explaining them in the natural world, as we read from Exodus 17-18, Leviticus 12, and Psalm 73.

Hope Ahead | Eternity Gives Us Hope for Tomorrow | Pastor Cody Podor
How did the psalmist deal with suffering? What can we know of God in it?
Book Two of the Book of Psalms ends and Book Three begins.David is all but silent and it's the turn of the temple musicians known as the Sons of Korah and another writer called Asaph to have their voices heard.David's son, Solomon, also finds his voice.However, the quintessential themes remain: God is a refuge and a rock and he is called upon to rescue the writers and their nation from their enemies.These men believe absolutely that the creator of the universe cares deeply about them and their wellbeing, which is why they cry out to him.

Brent Wilson preaches from Psalm 73 on November 24th, 2024.
Key Verse: Psalm 73:17 - I went into the sanctuary of God; then I discerned their end.
Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength[b] of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalm 73 Worksheet Psalm 73 is a Psalm of Asaph as are the first ________ Psalms of Book 3 of the Psalms, Psalm 73-83. Asaph also wrote Psalm 50. 1 Chronicles 15:14-28 1 Chronicles 16:1-6, 7-8, 37 1 Chronicles 25:6-7 2 Chronicles 5:11-13 2 Chronicles 29:30 2 Chronicles 35:15 Ezra 2:41, 3:10 Neh. 7:44; 11:17, 22 For long ago in the days of David and Asaph there were directors of the singers, and there were songs of praise and thanksgiving to God. -Nehemiah 12:46 < How each Book of the Psalm starts… Psalm: Writer: Theme: 1 Anonymous (David) The Blessed man delights in the Bible 42 Sons of Korah My soul thirsts for the living God 73 Asaph Going to ‘church' gave perspective 90 Moses Help us live our days out fearing God 107 Anonymous Give thanks to the Lord for Hesed < As I read Psalm 73, look for how it builds up toward the perspective we gain when we go to the “sanctuary of God,” making this a _______________________ Psalm! Great opening statement V. 1 Is serving God really worth it? V. 2-15 Asaph puts in a song what many followers of Jesus often think: Is serving God really worth it? We see many wicked people boasting about how well they are doing apart from God. If we are only thinking about the here and now, it is easy to ____________________ those who seem to be doing fine without God. Compare the wicked person's pride & violence ‘necklace' in verse 6 with the one worn by the person who trusts in the Lord in Proverbs 3:3. And then he amplifies the things the wicked seems to have that the righteous often don't, starting with _____________________ (v. 7). The wicked even brag about what they get away with (v. 8). The wicked also ____________________ God and run their mouth without consequence (v. 9). The wicked even get away with influencing the ________________ among us to turn from God (v. 10-11). In verses 12-14, the Psalmist is just about to ________________________ that it has not been worth it to serve God since so many that reject God seem to be doing just fine while he is struggling to make it. In verse 15 Asaph realizes that if he had stopped with the preceding thoughts and given himself over to sin he would have led all those he _____________________________ in Israel to sin, especially younger generations. Everything ____________________ when Asaph went to the sanctuary! V. 16-17 Everything changed when Asaph went to where God's voice is heard, a biblical worldview is reinforced, and holy living and service is encouraged! The same thing happens for us when we go to our Bible-believing church! What God says is true about the unrepentant _______________________ V. 18-20 God says at any moment the unrepentant wicked could die and be cast into judgment. The wicked's ‘abundance' will turn into desolation; their cockiness will turn into terror when God deals with them; their dream life will turn into an eternal nightmare. They mocked God, but God will have the __________________ word. God always has the final word! Remember Eziekiel 18:32 – God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked – He would rather they repent and live rather than go to Hell. Asaph is sad he was so foolish but thankful for God's grace V. 21-28 Asaph testifies of restored confidence and ________________________ of eternal life for having faith in God (v. 23-24). Asaph pledges to trust God no matter how _________________ he has now, knowing that after this life the wicked will ‘perish' but he will live in abundance with his God!
