Day 73...(Leviticus 27; Psalm 73)..."Keeping Good Footing"

The Psalmist's almost wants to take the path of the arrogant but maintains footing just in time. He is pure in heart but wondering about the prosperity of the arrogant. Here is the passage...


Surely God is good to Israel,
to those who are pure in heart.

But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;
I had nearly lost my foothold.

Is this not a great image repeated in the Sermon on the Mount..."Blessed are the poor and in spirit."

Is this not the human condition? One eye toward God and the other toward the arrogant?
