Seeing Things Correctly

Psalm 73:16,17
When I tried to make sense of this,
it was troubling to me.
Then I entered the precincts of God’s temple,
and understood the destiny of the wicked. (NET)

The writer of this Psalm talks of his jealousy of the arrogant and wicked (why do evil people prosper, and the good suffer?), but then the understanding and peace that came when he got in touch with God again.

The only viewpoint from which we can see the truth of a situation is from God's sanctuary; before we can see correctly we must first get back into fellowship with God.
