2. But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well slipped.3. For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Psalm 73:2-3. The psalmist Asaph's song speaks of the goodness of God. But he is looking at the wicked and is troubled by their prosperity. He claims he almost stumbled off the proper path. Because he was envious of how God allowed the wicked to prosper. If we take our eyes off Christ, we shall surely lose our way. For there are many bright and shiny distractions, constructed by Satan, like huge billboards to entice those to sin, who lose their way. Asaph comes to the awareness that his perspective was that he was looking in the wrong direction. Asaph was now in the house of God his focus was on God. And he received understanding, he now saw the truth, the wicked do not have a reward in Christ, their eyes do not look for Him. Their ears are closed to the hearing of salvation. Because of their refusal of Christ they have put themselves on a slippery slope to destruction, not knowing the day, or the hour of its arrival. The saved in Christ Jesus, know not their day or hour. Yet they are comforted because absence from this body, is to be present with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8. Amen.
