Psalms 73:23-24 (ESV Strong's)
Nevertheless, I am continually with you;
you hold my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will receive me to glory.
Subject: God's Faithfulness
In Psalm 73 the Choir Master, Asaph is confessing that he has envied the prosperity of the wicked. He has watched their lives go unscathed. They appear to him to be completely "at ease." He is embarrassed by these thoughts and finally comes to his senses when he enters the House of God and remembers the end of the wicked. Yes, in this life they may appear "fat and sleek." But, in the end they have nothing. The righteous, however, are contrasted in the above verse. We may "feel" as though we have nothing in this life. However, we have the presence of God with us and are constantly held in His right hand (the hand Christ sits to rule). We have God's guidance and the promise of always being with Him, for eternity. The wicked by look like they have it all. But, they have nothing. We may look like we have nothing. But, we have it all.
