Pastor Dan teaches through Psalms 73, focusing on the struggle of seeing wicked people prosper while those who follow God suffer. He explains that Asaph nearly loses his footing because he becomes consumed with envy and frustration, questioning whether following God is even worth it. Everything changes when Asaph enters God's presence and gains an eternal perspective, realizing that earthly success is temporary while God's justice and goodness are eternal. Dan encourages believers to bring their honest doubts and frustrations to God, but not to remain focused on their circumstances. Instead, he calls Christians to lift their eyes to God's character, trust His timing and justice, and find their hope in His presence rather than in comfort, success, or circumstances. Ultimately, the sermon reminds believers that even when life is difficult and unfair, God Himself is their greatest treasure, their refuge, and their portion forever.
There's an implicit question that first rolls off of the forked tongue of the serpent in Eden. And it was Adam and Eve's response to this question that plunged all of humanity into a world filled with sin and death in Genesis 3. It is a question facing the people of God in every age: is God good? Psalm 73 explores this question by considering a particular struggle in the life of a believer: the temptation to see the prosperity of the wicked, compare it to their own suffering, and contemplate defecting to the dark side. And so, the hope of the psalmist for us today is that we would be strengthened to see the foolishness of envying the wicked as we learn to live by faith and not by sight in the promises of a good and just God.
Danny Jankovics – Psalm 73:1-28 – The wicked prosper Psalm 73 A psalm of Asaph. 1 Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. 2 But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. 3 For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the […]

Comparison is a subtle thief. In Psalm 73, Asaph takes us on a painfully honest journey from confidence in God to frustration, envy, and spiritual confusion. While looking at the success of the wicked, he began to lose sight of the goodness of God, and what started as comparison slowly became a slippery slope away from the Lord. Join us as we walk through Psalm 73 and rediscover this powerful truth: no matter how far our hearts may wander, it is always good to draw near to God.

When we improperly perceive one's earthly prosperity as indicative of their ultimate prosperity, we need God to re-fix our gaze on eternity with Him.

Many of us have probably struggled with the question: why do bad things happen to good people? But in Psalm 73, the author Asaph asks the opposite question: why do good things happen to bad people? In this message, we'll see how Asaph's struggle with envy almost destroyed his faith, and the confidence that he regained as he entered into the sanctuary of God.

Psalm 73:1-28
When we last left Gideon and his army, he had attacked the forces of Midian with 300 hundred men. Though he and his small band had already killed 120,000 men, there are still 15,000 left. We begin with a discussion between Gideon and the men of Ephraim who have just killed the two princes of Midian as Gideon's men routed them from battle. They're upset that they weren't called to fight, but Gideon basically tells them their leftovers are better than the full harvest of what his men have reaped. After securing victory, Israel tries to make Gideon their leader, but he refuses and says that the Lord should lead them. Then, strangely he makes an ephod out of gold, which becomes a snare of idolatry. Judges 8 – 1:12 . Judges 9 – 8:36 .

In our last episode, a coalition of nations conspired to fight against Israel, but they are no match for those with whom the Lord has covenanted, and God sends a natural disaster that lays waste to more men than the Israelites slay by the sword. Today, another set of kings sets their sites on extinguishing Israel. The northern cities and their kings will soon be defeated, included those men called Anakim, those whom the original party of spies feared so much, saying they felt like grasshoppers in their presence. Now, Israel returns with a new generation led by Joshua and Caleb, the Lord's faithful spies who are the only men left of the former generation. Joshua 11 - 4:02 . Joshua 12 - 8:28 .

Have you ever looked at people who ignore God, who lie, cheat, and look out only for themselves, and realized they seem to be doing better than you are? If you have ever asked, "Why do the wicked prosper while I struggle to do the right thing?" this video is for you.In this episode, we open up Psalm 73, arguably the most honest chapter in the Bible about spiritual burnout. We meet Asaph, a worship leader who almost quit the faith because he was tired of seeing "bad" people win. We explore the raw reality of envy and faith, asking the hard question: Is following Jesus actually worth it when the world feels so unfair?We won't offer you empty clichés. Instead, we'll look at how shifting your perspective, entering "the sanctuary", changes everything. You'll learn how to handle the bitterness of Christian discouragement and discover that while the wicked might have "the good life" for a moment, you have something they can never buy: a God who holds your hand even when you are angry at Him.SUBSCRIBE to our channel / @binmin_org JOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/SUPPORT Binmin with a tax-deductible gift HERE - https://binmin.org/donate0:00 - WHEN LIFE FEELS UNFAIR (THE QUESTION)0:40 - PSALM 73 & ASAPH'S JOURNEY (DOUBT TO CLARITY)1:13 - THE SOCIAL MEDIA HIGHLIGHT-REEL TRAP1:26 - “WHAT'S THE POINT?” (ASAPH'S CRISIS)1:58 - THE TURNING POINT: “UNTIL I WENT INTO THE SANCTUARY”2:35 - STEP INTO YOUR SANCTUARY (PRAYER, WORSHIP, SCRIPTURE)2:46 - A PERSONAL NOTE: DISAPPOINTMENT, BUSYNESS, IMMATURE FAITH3:03 - THE CURTAIN PULLED BACK (THE WICKED'S FRAGILE END)3:30 - WORSHIP RECENTERS THE SOUL (GOD'S JUSTICE & MERCY)4:04 - GOD'S GRIP OF GRACE (HE HOLDS YOUR RIGHT HAND)4:34 - GOD THE STRENGTH OF MY HEART (PORTION FOREVER)5:21 - “WHOM HAVE I IN HEAVEN BUT YOU” (NEAR GOD IS THE GREATEST GOOD)5:38 - WHAT PSALM 73 LOOKS LIKE TOMORROW (PRACTICAL STEPS)6:24 - ANCHOR YOUR SOUL (TRIALS, WORSHIP, TRUE PROSPERITY)7:01 - CLOSING & SHARE / SUBSCRIBE / RESOURCES (BINMIN.ORG)JOIN the NEWSLETTER.
