From Spurgeon's sermon, "LET US PRAY"
"But it is good for me to draw near to God." -Psalm 73:28
In this psalm, poor Asaph had been greatly troubled--
He had been trying to untie that Gordion knot concerning the
righteousness of a providence which permits the wicked to
flourish and the godly to be tried; and because he could not
untie that knot, he tried to cut it, but he cut his own fingers
in the act, and became greatly troubled.
He could not understand how it was that God could be just,
and yet give riches to the wicked, while his own people were
in poverty. At last Asaph understood it all, for he went
into the house of his God, and there he understood the latter
end of the wicked. And he says -- looking back upon his
discovery of a clue to this great labyrinth --
"It is good for me to draw near to God."
