Day 20 – Psalm 73
“Surely You set them in slippery places…” Psalm 73:18a
PRAYING FOR UNDERSTANDING
Asaph was correct and wise in seeking enlightenment from God in prayer. Deep and true wisdom come from God. However, the seeker of wisdom must be prepared to persevere in prayer.
1. Praying in anguish of heart.
2. Persevering in prayer if no immediate answers were forthcoming.
3. Praying in anticipation of God answering prayer.
A DEEP AND SOLEMN ANSWER
Part of the answer to Asaph’s quest for knowledge may be found in the following text:
“Surely You set them in slippery places;
You cast them down to destruction.”
Psalm 73:18
