Hey, good morning everybody. I hope you had a great weekend. I had a fantastic weekend. It was awesome. My wife came back from California. As Tennessee residents, we are surviving the heat and the bugs and the humidity. It’s a bit of an adjustment for us, but we really like it.
And been trying a brand new church the last couple of weeks, which I’m kind of excited about. uh stained glass windows, Presbyterian Church in America, lots of hymns, the Apostles Creed, ancient quotes from guys like Augustine and Anom, church fathers. It’s really cool and I can’t wait to uh invite some of my kids to it.
Like you, James, good morning. >> Good morning. >> How was your weekend? >> It was good. I went to a pool party and we cooked up some burgers and hot dogs and just had a good time. This morning’s Bible devotional is coming out of Psalm 73 and 74. You ready? Grief is good. It’s good grief when it mourns what God hates. But grief is dangerous when it questions God’s goodness and love.
All right, we’re in Psalm 73. Asaf is the author and says, “But as for me, I almost lost my footing. My feet were slipping and I was almost gone. For I envied the proud when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness. They seemed to live such painless lives. Their bodies are so healthy and strong. They don’t have troubles like other people.
They’re not plagued with problems like everyone else. Look at these wicked people enjoying a life of ease while their riches multiply. Did I keep my heart pure for nothing? Did I keep myself innocent for no reason? I get nothing but trouble all day long. Every morning brings me pain. And then I realized that my heart was bitter and I was all torn up inside.
