The Strength Of My Heart
Psalm 73 is sometimes called a wisdom psalm because its purpose is to teach wisdom. One interesting feature of this psalm is that it begins with its conclusion. Verse 1 says; Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. This is going to be the conclusion, but Asaph is going to tell us how he had to come to that conclusion. It was quite a path he traveled.

Hope through Despair (Psalm 119:81-88)
The psalmist is going through a deep spiritual struggle. He feels abandoned by the Lord; his inner spiritual strength is gone; his previous fellowship has been taken away; the intimate delight is a distant memory. He is desperate for deliverance; he lacks a sense of God’s compassion; he feels God’s delay in judging his persecutors, until the point that he is despairing even of life. He is in a spiritual valley. “The midnight of the Psalm, and very dark and black it is†(Spurgeon). Spurgeon himself is said to have struggled at times with depression. This teaches us that even the most eminent of saints are not beyond the flaming arrows of our adversary and are not immune at times to letting their guard down and having those arrows embedded into the heart. Thankfully, for the believer, that no a single arrow of Satan, no matter how well suited and painful it may be, is ever a death blow. A believer may be weakened by Satan’s attacks but he is never defeated and cannot be ultimately. We have the divine resources of an indestructible life in Christ Jesus (Hebrews 2:16-18; 4:15-16; 7:25). (In the world you have troubles, but take courage. I have overcome the world [John 16:33]); what is the victory that overcomes the world: our faith (1 John 5:4).Hope in and faithfulness to the Word of God are anchors to the soul in spiritual struggle and persecution.

All Who Are Thirsty, Come
We are designed to desire God's presence. Just as our bodies are designed for water, our souls are designed for God. But it easy to get distracted from the presence of God, which is why we need to deepen our dependence upon him as our true source of satisfaction.
