Reading in Ps. 73.28 today. "It is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works." This is Asaph's summary and conclusion. He has wrestled with the fact that the wicked seem to prosper in this life and seem to be free from the difficulties of those who are faithful to God.
The God who seemed to allow the wicked to go unpunished (though as the psalmist himself concluded, this was not the ultimate truth), it is good for me to draw near to that God. I have put my trust in that God. It is done. It is decided. This is the life of faith.
