By L. R. FULLERTON
To some it seems that God
would not let the righteous suffer
nor permit the wicked to pros-
per. Such reasoning as this is
not new. I suppose there have
been those in all ages who have
wondered the same thing. In the
long ago, the writer of Psalms
73 wrestled with the same prob-
lem. At first, he just couldn’t
understand why God would per-
mit the wicked to prosper and
let the righteous suffer. Listen
to him as he reasons. “But as
for me, my feet were almost
gone; my steps have well nigh
slipped. For I was envious at the
foolishness, when I saw the pros-
perity of the wicked. They are
not in trouble as other men
are; neither are they plagued like
other men. They are corrupt, and
speak wickedly concerning oppre-
ssion; they increase in riches.
Verily I have cleansed my heart
in vain, and washed my hands of
innocency.”
In great confusion, the Palmist
said, “When I thought to know
this, it was too painful for me.”
To the Psalmist it just seemed
that such things ought not so
to be. To him the plausible thing
would be for God to have stepped
in and changed the picture. This
was his reasoning at first, but
before the chapter ends we see
his reasoning changs. What caus-
ed him to change his reasoning?
The turning point in Psalms 73
is verse 17, and here is what is
said, “Until I went into the sanc-
tuary of God; then understood
I their end.” There were many
things the Psalmist could not un-
derstand: and when he tried to
figure them out, he said they
were painful for him. But then
he said, “Until I went into the
sanctuary of God; then under-
stood I their end.” After he had
taken this thing to the Lord, and
left it in God’s hands, he could
then see and understand what
he had not formerly seen and
understood. Hie had been trying
to figure this thing out himself,
but he needed to let God help
him. He concluded that the way
that seems right is not always
right. After he had reached the
conclusion that God knew best,
he said, “So foolish was I, and
ignorant: I was as a beast be-
fore thee.”
Many today have the same
problem the Psalmist had. They
just can’t understand why God

would let the wicked prosper, or |
permit the righteous to suffer, ;
but they have not taken into ac-
count the fact that a reckoning ■
day is coming. God doesn’t set-
tile all of His account at the end
of the year. If the wicked could
never prosper in this world, and
the righteous would never be sub-
jected to any suffering in this
world, wouldn’t people be prone
to become righteous only that
they might escape suffering, or
that they might prosper? It is |
true that God “maketh his sun
to rise on the evil and on the •
good, and sendeth rain on the
just and on the unjust” (Mat-
thew 5:45). But God has a pur-
pose in this. At first we may.
not understand it, and we may
even question God’s judgment in
this, but when we leave it with
the Lord and have the full asur-■
ance that God will handle all ■
things properly, we eventually
will see that God knew what He
was doing. |
Paul had a thorn in the flesh
and prayed three times that it
might be removed, but God did
not remove it. Why? To many
would seem that God would cer-
tainly remove that thorn from
such a reighteous man as Paul,
but this was not the case. That
thorn, instead of being a stumb-
ling stone, became a stepping
stone for Paul. In like manner,
the affictions of David became
stepping stones for him. He said,
“It is good for me that I have
been afficted, that I might learn
thy statutes” (Psalms 119:71).
Don’t forget that a reckoning
day is coming. Though the wick-
ed might have enjoyed prosperity seeth for man looketh Qn the
in this world, they will have to' Qutward appearance> but
stand accountable for their looketh on the heart„
to endure severe punishment in 6amuel 1&.7)
