TODAY’S TURNING POINT WITH DR. DAVID JEREMIAH DAILY DEVOTIONAL 20TH NOVEMBER 2024 MESSAGE
Read David Jeremiah Daily Devotional 20th November 2024, Wednesday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: Sanctuary
When I thought how to understand this, it was too painful for me—until I went into the sanctuary of God.
Psalm 73:16-17
Recommended Reading: Psalm 73
The writer of Psalm 73 knew in his head that God was good (verse 1). But this writer, Asaph, was troubled in his heart by what he saw around him. The wicked were thriving (verses 3-9). They scoffed at the notion of God (verses 10-11), yet they were growing richer (verse 12). Asaph, who tried to live a godly life, wondered why he had more problems than the arrogant (verses 13-14).
What did Asaph do? He expressed his questions to God. He went into the Lord’s presence like entering a sanctuary, and he gained new insights about the brevity of life for the wicked compared to the eternal glory afforded him by his faith (verses 15-24).
There’s a temptation when faced with spiritual questions to withdraw from God in frustration when we should withdraw to God in faith. We may not always understand our situations, but we’ll draw closer to the One who does understand.
Do you have spiritual questions? Go to God with them!
Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to take them.
