Surely in vain have I kept my heart pure; in vain have I washed my hands in innocence(Psalm 73:13).

Did you ever feel that way, Beloved?  Did you ever feel that no matter how much you work, no matter how hard you try, that it’s just not good enough?  Did you ever feel that God doesn’t give a rip snort how much you serve him; in fact, he doesn’t seem to notice you at all?  And did you ever think, “What’s the point?” because God is honoring those who dishonor him and blessing those who curse him?

No?  Never felt that way, huh?

Well…color me lonely, then.

We’ll talk more Monday.  This Psalm is about to turn a pretty important corner.

Happy Friday, Beloved.
