Life is not fair. Thus goes the lament. Evil people prosper. There is no justice. That is the lament of those who tag it all with this question:

"Why bother?"

The psalmist cried this often-cried cry and then,

"But when I thought how to understand this,
it seemed to me a wearisome task,
until I went into the sanctuary of God;
then I discerned their end." – Psalm 73:16-17 (ESV)

"Until."

Until he went before God to gain perspective – the perspective of the whole of their lives, the whole of his life, and the vastness of God's purposes.

Some insights are simply unattainable outside the presence of God.
