In Psalms, chapter seventy-three, verses twenty-three through twenty-eight, the psalmist discovers the attitude leading to the triumph of faith. In this life with all its problems, our greatest good is intimate communion with God, as in verse twenty-eight. Let the wicked prosper; our hope and treasure is God Himself. Always with us, guiding us by His Word and Spirit, upholding us by His power, as in verses twenty-three to twenty-four, and afterward receiving us into the glories of heaven, as in verse twenty-four. Like the apostle Paul, our motto as we face life’s anxieties should be, “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
The theme title expresses to the believer that God is there. When we start our day and journey through the morning towards the evening until the night, with all the people we encounter and the problems associated with them, God is in the midst of it all. However, do we acknowledge Him there with us? As believers, we need to ask God to direct our path in whatever we are doing and where we are going. No one knows what lies ahead when we go into the vicinity of the public. God is with us, and we must always be in communion with Him whenever the opportunity presents itself because He knows the minds and people we encounter if they are up to evil or good.
God is with us, and we must be with Him. When problems arise and situations with loved ones occur, believers should pray and ask God for direction because His ways are far better than ours. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts”, as in Isaiah fifty-five, verses eight through nine.
