Psalm 73 – Don’t Envy the Wicked

There are seasons when evil seems to be winning. Proud men strut. Corrupt people rise. The shameless appear comfortable, loud, wealthy, and untouchable. Meanwhile, those trying to walk uprightly often carry grief, pressure, and affliction.

Psalm 73 speaks directly to that tension. It does not pretend the struggle is imaginary. It tells the truth about how easy it is to look at the wicked and wonder whether faithfulness is worth it. But it also tells the deeper truth. What looks like prosperity is not the whole story, and what looks like loss for the righteous is not the end of the matter.
