Asaph continues his discourse on the wicked: 1. Their seemingly contradictory prosperity in the presence of a just God. 2. Asaphs conflict regarding their prosperity and finally Gods enlightenment on the whole issue!!! Notice in verse 11, they say How can God know? The wicked being so darkened in sin truly believe God does not know and even may believe He is not concerned. Asaph sees no current justice being handed down upon the wicked but truly God is patient and He will deal with sin. Asaph struggled with thinking upon this! Arent we so caught up in what I can see but does that truly describe what will be in the future? The just live by faith. We know there is a Day of Judgment. Let us pray for those who live in darkness that God will give them life and light! Lastly, Asaph is given the insight regarding the end of the wicked. Yes, now, the beginning is filled with prosperity but notice in the last verse below when Asaph goes into the Temple to worship, he says, Then I discerned their end. The end will be altogether different then the beginning. Asaph may have had a glimpse into the holiness and justice of God. Gods holy Word helps us to see our need for Christ and His salvation! Run their before its too late. Psalm 73:11 And they say, How can God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High? 12 Behold, these are the wicked; always at ease, they increase in riches. 13 All in vain have I kept my heart clean and washed my hands in innocence. 14 For all the day long I have been stricken and rebuked every morning. 15 If I had said, I will speak thus, I would have betrayed the generation of your children. 16 But when I thought how to understand this, it seemed to me a wearisome task, 17 until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I discerned their end.
