Have you ever felt sorry for yourself?
If so it is likely because you feel hard done by. My life shouldn’t be like this. It can make us sad, or discouraged, we can feel self-pity or perhaps just despondent. Sometimes we might think, why do I bother, or what’s the point. Often at the root of it, there is envy or a lack of contentment.
Asaph, the author of Psalm 73, seems to feel this way.
He is envious. He’s had enough and is fed up. These feelings can be very dangerous. They can lead us away from God. And thankfully we have here with Asaph his journey and also what he does to turn it around to avoid the danger.
