Psalm 73:26
"My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is
the strength of my heart, and
my portion for ever."
The true place in which to form a right estimate of life is found in the sanctuary of God; one can take into view the unseen as well as the seen, the eternal as well as the transient. "If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable," (1Cor. 15:19). But if the future is taken into consideration, Would Lazarus exchange his lot with the rich man? See Luke16:19-31. When once the soul crosses the frontier between this life and the next, it finds that the current coin on this side is valueless.
One day as Asaph, bowed down more than usual, deliverance came. Whether it was when the sacrifice was being offered, or when the Holy psalm was being sung, the clouds suddenly broke and the burden rolled away. He saw that God did not reward goodness with things, but with Himself, and he turned to Him with adoring love. Even in the present life the righteous may count on the constant presence of God. His hand holds them; His counsel guides. He is our strength and our portion; and when we change worlds, we shall only enter more fully and absolutely on our inheritance.
Amen!
