Psalm 73:17 until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I understood their end. (Asaph)
In Psalm 73:17, the word sanctuary comes from the ancient Hebrew word mikdash, meaning a sacred or holy place. Today, many think of a “sanctuary” as a church building where worship services are held. Others think of a refuge for wildlife, like a bird sanctuary, or another place of safety and peace. The ancient Israelites, however, understood sanctuary to mean one thing: the presence of God. It was the Creator’s presence that made a place holy, and the Bible is full of non-church examples of God’s presence. All around him, Asaph sees wicked people who hurt, manipulate, and control others in their self-centered games, wearing their cruelty like a badge of honor. Their mouths have room only for evil words. (vs 6-8) All this leads Asaph to wonder what we often ask: if bad people get what is good and good people get what is bad, why am I trying to be good? (vs 13-14) After being in the sanctuary of God, Asaph better understood the world, himself, and God. In response to Asaph’s confusion, God reminded Asaph that he is not unaware of the suffering, nor the boasting and brutality of the wicked. Asaph learned that the charmed lives of the wicked are a temporary illusion. Those who selfishly hurt others and rebel against God will stand before the judgment seat of Christ like all of us. On that glorious day, God will make all things right and end evil forever. There is but one place where the world makes sense. That one place is the sanctuary of God.
