100:00:00,860 –> 00:00:08,080Jesus is Lord, but I’ve got to tell you, I almost gave up believing it.200:00:09,760 –> 00:00:16,959My feet had almost slipped. I nearly lost my faith, I nearly gave up my ministry,300:00:18,320 –> 00:00:23,200I almost lost my foothold. I was nearly gone. I need you to know that,400:00:24,080 –> 00:00:29,440but I want to tell you how God turned me around.500:00:29,440 –> 00:00:32,959Welcome to Open the Bible with Pastor Colin Smith. I’m David Pic,600:00:33,520 –> 00:00:39,520thanks for being with us today. And Colin, we’re starting today a new series all about Psalm 73 and700:00:39,520 –> 00:00:45,520this concerns someone who is discouraged in his faith. Yeah, it’s a real-life story, a man by800:00:45,520 –> 00:00:52,639the name of Asaph, a godly leader, a good man, but he came to a place where he was so desperately900:00:52,639 –> 00:00:58,400discouraged. He said, I nearly lost my footing altogether. That can happen to a really good1000:00:58,400 –> 00:01:04,000person, to a godly person. Just circumstances come together and you think, am I achieving1100:01:04,000 –> 00:01:09,839anything? What is the point in what I am doing? And there will be folks listening to us right1200:01:09,839 –> 00:01:15,599now who are there, and this is the Word of God for you, and it’s a word of tremendous hope1300:01:15,599 –> 00:01:22,879because God did not leave Asaph in that desperate position. He did draw near to him, and he did1400:01:22,879 –> 00:01:28,559establish him and did turn him around, and God is faithful. He will do the same for you. I’m so1500:01:28,559 –> 00:01:33,919glad we got this Psalm. I have known times in my own life where I desperately needed it. No doubt1600:01:33,919 –> 00:01:38,639will again. That happens for every Christian, and that’s where we’re going in the bible today.1700:01:38,639 –> 00:01:46,160So join us if you can in Psalm 73 as we begin a message simply entitled Stop. Here’s Colin.1800:01:47,199 –> 00:01:55,519Psalm 73 is really a personal testimony about a man who came to a great crisis of discouragement1900:01:55,519 –> 00:02:02,559in his own life. He tells us about how he nearly lost his faith, despite the fact that he was2000:02:02,559 –> 00:02:09,759known as a mature believer, but God helped him and he found his way through the crisis to an2100:02:09,759 –> 00:02:17,759even stronger faith than he had known before. Psalm 73 has been described as the Book of Job2200:02:18,320 –> 00:02:23,919in a nutshell. That’s what it is and that’s going to be our theme over these next weeks.2300:02:24,800 –> 00:02:30,320Now if you look at the top of Psalm 73, and we’re going to read the first half of it in a2400:02:30,399 –> 00:02:36,639few moments time, but if you look at the top of it you will see there that we are told that this was2500:02:36,639 –> 00:02:43,839a Psalm written by Asaph and I think we’re going to come to know this man Asaph as a familiar2600:02:43,839 –> 00:02:51,039friend. Asaph was one of the men who King David put in charge of music in the house of the Lord.2700:02:51,039 –> 00:02:57,600You can read about that in First Chronicles chapter 6 in verse 39. He was in the procession2800:02:57,600 –> 00:03:02,320when David brought the Ark of the Covenant back to the city of Jerusalem2900:03:02,960 –> 00:03:07,759and after that the Bible tells us that David appointed some of the Levites3000:03:07,759 –> 00:03:12,320to minister before the ark of the Lord, to make petition, to give thanks,3100:03:12,320 –> 00:03:18,559to praise the Lord, the God of Israel. And then it says Asaph was the chief, so he was in charge of3200:03:18,559 –> 00:03:28,960prayer for the whole body, he played the symbols, he led the music. So Asaph was a man in full-time3300:03:28,960 –> 00:03:36,800ministry, he was a mature believer, he was a Godly man and God had put him in a position of great3400:03:36,800 –> 00:03:43,119responsibility. But what he tells us in this marvelous psalm that he writes under the inspiration3500:03:43,119 –> 00:03:48,960of the Holy Spirit is that he came to a point when, even in the middle of ministry,3600:03:49,839 –> 00:03:57,839he nearly lost his own faith. And I have to tell you, I find it very, very helpful3700:03:58,880 –> 00:04:05,360to know that even the greatest believers have experienced times of great crisis,3800:04:06,320 –> 00:04:10,639where it seemed that everything was falling apart in their lives.3900:04:12,000 –> 00:04:19,679I have to tell you personally that over the years God has used this psalm more than4000:04:19,679 –> 00:04:26,000any other part of Scripture to get me through some of the hardest times in my own life.4100:04:26,640 –> 00:04:33,920Asaph has become a friend who has been a means of God’s grace to get me out of a black hole4200:04:33,920 –> 00:04:43,119more than once. I think of times down the road where I said I need to go back to Psalm 73 and4300:04:43,119 –> 00:04:48,399I hope that as a result of this month that we will be encouraged, that we will be strengthened,4400:04:49,040 –> 00:04:55,200and that we will feel that we have found in this psalm and in God’s servant Asaph a faithful friend4500:04:56,239 –> 00:05:01,040who can help us persevere when we hit some of the most difficult times4600:05:01,600 –> 00:05:07,679in our lives. So to the text then and we’ll take it verse by verse as we read it together.4700:05:09,200 –> 00:05:15,519Psalm 73 in verse one. I want you to notice that the psalm begins with a statement of faith.4800:05:16,959 –> 00:05:24,480Surely God is good to Israel to those who are pure in heart.4900:05:24,959 –> 00:05:29,839now this in Old Testament terms was a kind of5000:05:29,839 –> 00:05:33,119statement. It was the sort of thing that you would recite in the5100:05:33,119 –> 00:05:37,679congregation every week at worship for New Testament believers it would be5200:05:37,679 –> 00:05:43,679rather like saying Jesus is Lord when we meet for worship. You know God is good to5300:05:43,679 –> 00:05:49,200Israel to those who are pure in heart. Now Esau is saying right at the5400:05:49,200 –> 00:05:53,320beginning of this psalm Look, this is what I always believed. I’ve been brought up5500:05:53,359 –> 00:06:00,480with this. I’ve always believed it. I have built my life upon it. This is the faith5600:06:00,480 –> 00:06:09,899of God’s people he says. But verse 2 I have to tell you that as for me my feet5700:06:09,899 –> 00:06:15,279had almost slipped. So if Esau had been a New Testament5800:06:15,600 –> 00:06:23,959believer his story would have been something like this Jesus is Lord but I5900:06:23,959 –> 00:06:28,480got to tell you I almost gave up believing it.6000:06:28,480 –> 00:06:38,500My feet had almost slipped. I nearly lost my faith. I nearly gave up my ministry. I6100:06:38,559 –> 00:06:45,920almost lost my foot hold. I was nearly gone I need you to know that but I want6200:06:45,920 –> 00:06:53,500to tell you how God’s turned me around that’s what the psalm is. You know it’s6300:06:53,500 –> 00:06:59,059relevance every Sunday when we meet for worship and we confess our faith and we6400:06:59,059 –> 00:07:03,500sing the hymns and we read the scriptures there are some folks in this6500:07:03,660 –> 00:07:10,380congregation and that’s right where you are you don’t find it easy to sing you6600:07:10,380 –> 00:07:14,640struggle as we focus on the word all the time pounding in your mind you hear6700:07:14,640 –> 00:07:22,700something said and it’s yes but yes but yes but what about and your faith that6800:07:22,700 –> 00:07:29,940once was strong is now hanging by a slender thread6900:07:30,119 –> 00:07:36,019once strong to you now seems distant what seems wonderfully real to other7000:07:36,019 –> 00:07:42,820people seems remote from you and somewhere in the back of your mind there7100:07:42,820 –> 00:07:46,500is this voice that says you know I could quite easily walk away from this7200:07:46,500 –> 00:07:53,820altogether my feet had almost slipped7300:07:53,820 –> 00:07:58,119no in the first half of the Psalm which we’re going to cover this morning7400:07:58,119 –> 00:08:06,640Esau tells us why it was that he became so troubled he tells us what brought him7500:08:06,640 –> 00:08:13,339to the point where he almost gave up really comes in three parts7600:08:13,339 –> 00:08:21,239the first is that he could make no sense of what God was doing in the world and7700:08:21,239 –> 00:08:27,559here I’d like simply to read for you verses 3 to 12 as we get the flavor of7800:08:28,140 –> 00:08:33,080he was experiencing so follow with me as we read together here from verse three7900:08:33,080 –> 00:08:41,580for I envied the arrogant he says when I saw the prosperity of the wicked they8000:08:41,580 –> 00:08:48,880have no struggles their bodies are healthy and strong they’re free from the8100:08:48,880 –> 00:08:56,020burdens common to man they are not plagued by human ills therefore pride is8200:08:56,020 –> 00:09:02,359their necklace they clothe themselves with violence and from their callous8300:09:02,359 –> 00:09:09,140hearts comes iniquity the evil conceits of their minds no no limits these scoff8400:09:09,140 –> 00:09:15,700and speak with malice in their arrogance they threaten oppression their mouths8500:09:15,700 –> 00:09:22,020lay claim to heaven and their tongues take possession of the earth therefore8600:09:22,419 –> 00:09:28,900people turn to them and drink up waters in abundance they say how can God know8700:09:28,900 –> 00:09:33,919does the most High have knowledge this is what the wicked are like they’re8800:09:33,919 –> 00:09:43,760carefree and they increase in wealth now there’s real distress in these words I8900:09:43,760 –> 00:09:49,000saw the prosperity of the wicked9000:09:49,080 –> 00:09:54,460I see those who have no integrity in the world of business and they’re doing very9100:09:54,460 –> 00:10:00,840well I can make no sense of that why does God allow it9200:10:01,400 –> 00:10:08,119the people who are most antagonistic towards God in our country they act as9300:10:08,119 –> 00:10:13,520if no one can touch them and God does nothing about it here I am trying to9400:10:13,520 –> 00:10:18,039serve the Lord in ministry to promote what is pure and what is right and all I9500:10:18,039 –> 00:10:23,619see is that the agenda of those who heed God and those who despise his word is9600:10:23,619 –> 00:10:29,580moving forward in the land why does God allow it it makes no sense to me9700:10:29,580 –> 00:10:35,520now you can understand this problem which of us hasnt been there can you9800:10:35,520 –> 00:10:41,820make any sense of how God rules the world can you9900:10:41,919 –> 00:10:47,539why do the wicked prosper it makes no sense10000:10:47,700 –> 00:10:51,539you’re listening to pastor Colin Smith on open the Bible10100:10:51,539 –> 00:10:57,080and the message simply called stop it’s part of our new series called I

I hope you’ll stay with us for that11000:11:32,359 –> 00:11:36,919meanwhile back to the message here’s Colin if stuff couldn’t make any sense11100:11:36,919 –> 00:11:44,239of what God was doing in the world but actually the real problem was deeper it11200:11:44,239 –> 00:11:49,719was that he could make no sense of what God was doing in his own life look at11300:11:49,719 –> 00:12:00,320verse 14 will come to 13 in a moment all day long I have been plagued I have11400:12:00,320 –> 00:12:06,520been punished every morning you see it’s personal now he’s poured out all his11500:12:06,520 –> 00:12:11,440frustration about how God rules the world but actually the real problem is11600:12:11,440 –> 00:12:16,780that things are going wrong in his own life and it just makes no sense to him11700:12:16,780 –> 00:12:24,760now remember that this is the confession of a godly man asaph is in11800:12:25,479 –> 00:12:34,320ministry he is a spiritual leader other people are looking to him for leadership11900:12:34,320 –> 00:12:39,179this is a man who’s reading his Bible this is a man who is saying his prayers12000:12:39,179 –> 00:12:43,599this is a man who tithes his money this is a man who has poured great energy12100:12:43,599 –> 00:12:48,380into pursuing a holy life who has sought to live with integrity he’s made12200:12:48,380 –> 00:12:52,880sacrifices for the advance of God’s Kingdom but now it seems that12300:12:53,020 –> 00:13:00,559everything’s going wrong in his life and just why would God allow that to happen12400:13:00,640 –> 00:13:05,679see sometimes underneath the grand questions that we ask about what’s wrong12500:13:05,679 –> 00:13:12,440with the world there are much deeper questions that are personal about what’s12600:13:12,440 –> 00:13:20,159going wrong in my life you ask why do the wicked prosper but the real question12700:13:20,159 –> 00:13:27,440is why hasn’t God prospered me you ask why does God allow suffering but the12800:13:27,440 –> 00:13:34,359real question is why is there such pain in my life you ask is there really a12900:13:34,359 –> 00:13:38,619god who controls the universe but the real question is why is it that it13000:13:38,619 –> 00:13:45,099seems my life is falling apart this man could make no sense of what God13100:13:45,140 –> 00:13:49,900is doing in the world he could make no sense of what God’s doing in his life13200:13:50,820 –> 00:13:56,820therefore thirdly he could no longer see the point of pursuing a godly life13300:13:56,820 –> 00:14:04,080that’s where he came to and that’s verse 13 surely in vain have I kept my Bert13400:14:04,080 –> 00:14:10,200pure in vain I have washed my hands in innocence13500:14:10,200 –> 00:14:13,859now you see what he’s saying if you go back to verse 1. I’ve always believed13600:14:13,859 –> 00:14:18,000I’ve been brought up to believe that God is good to Israel to those who are pure13700:14:18,000 –> 00:14:23,179in heart but what I’m seeing as I look out at the world is the prosperity of13800:14:23,179 –> 00:14:28,359the wicked then I look at the problems of my own life and I’ve tried to be pure13900:14:28,359 –> 00:14:32,260in heart and the whole thing just doesn’t make sense to me anymore14000:14:32,260 –> 00:14:36,599you see these problems are very real14100:14:37,359 –> 00:14:44,320some of you have colleagues in business competitors in business who have very14200:14:44,320 –> 00:14:52,159little integrity and they’re doing very well you have tried to do business in a14300:14:52,159 –> 00:14:57,719way that honors the Lord and you are facing all kinds of trouble and that14400:14:57,719 –> 00:15:02,719leaves you saying what’s the point in vain if I tried to keep my heart pure14500:15:02,820 –> 00:15:06,479where did it get me14600:15:07,799 –> 00:15:13,140your colleague at work was fooling around with someone in the office and he14700:15:13,140 –> 00:15:20,659got promoted you were loyal to your wife and you lost your job it leaves you14800:15:20,659 –> 00:15:26,960saying Lord you blessed the wrong guy here makes no sense14900:15:27,940 –> 00:15:33,039no this was ASAP’s problem and he’d lived with it too long15000:15:33,039 –> 00:15:43,479and he says honestly my feet had almost slipped I was nearly gone I almost gave15100:15:43,479 –> 00:15:55,619up now if a godly man like ASAP could be tempted like, that would you be15200:15:55,739 –> 00:15:59,359surprised that that might happen to you15300:16:00,200 –> 00:16:10,200the apostle Peter tells us that that we have an enemy Satan and that he’s like a15400:16:10,200 –> 00:16:15,460roaring lion and that he’s always prowling around looking to see who he15500:16:15,460 –> 00:16:18,780can devour it was like that before the time of Jesus and it’s been like that15600:16:18,780 –> 00:16:24,739since the time of Jesus and quite honestly the more you pursue integrity15700:16:24,739 –> 00:16:28,679and the more useful you are to Jesus Christ the more he will want to devour15800:16:28,679 –> 00:16:35,119you that is what was happening here Satan wanted to spoil Asaph’s testimony15900:16:35,119 –> 00:16:43,099Satan wanted to end this good man’s ministry Satan wanted to devour Asaph and16000:16:43,099 –> 00:16:50,380a storm of confusion and of despair16100:16:50,760 –> 00:16:55,479you need to know that there will be times of special testing in your life16200:16:55,479 –> 00:17:05,359and that your future usefulness to Christ will depend in large measure on16300:17:05,359 –> 00:17:11,359how you handle these times when they come, it was the Apostle Paul who said16400:17:11,359 –> 00:17:16,800that we are to put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes16500:17:17,020 –> 00:17:21,199we may be able to stand see not all days are the same in the Christian life there16600:17:21,199 –> 00:17:25,300are some days where Satan makes a special attack, Paul says it’s the day of16700:17:25,300 –> 00:17:29,160evil and when it comes you need the armor of God so that you will be able to16800:17:29,160 –> 00:17:38,119stand now you know that’s what Asaph did and God brought him through and his16900:17:38,119 –> 00:17:45,640story really is a model for us as to how we must act when we come to these points17000:17:45,719 –> 00:17:53,479where we feel like giving up now the rest of the psalm tells us Asaph’s17100:17:53,479 –> 00:17:59,160story and we’re going to walk with Asaph on his steps to recovery from this17200:17:59,160 –> 00:18:02,780crisis and there are really five steps and we’re going to follow them over17300:18:02,780 –> 00:18:07,400these next weeks we’re really just going to take the first one only today and17400:18:07,400 –> 00:18:12,719that’s the step that we find in verse 15 look at what he
