his holiness and hell

Psalm 73:15-17 (JDV)

Psalm 73:15 If I had decided to say these things aloud, I would have betrayed your people.
Psalm 73:16 When I tried to understand all this, it seemed hopeless
Psalm 73:17 until I entered God’s sanctuary. That was when I understood their destiny.

his holiness and hell

God’s sanctuary reminded Asaph of the holiness and power of God. That got him to thinking about what this holy and powerful God has in store for his enemies.

We owe God worship, and he owes himself a restoration of his universe, currently flawed by sin. If God were not holy, he could overlook sin, and hell would not be necessary. But he is, and it is.

LORD, we are in awe of your holiness. Teach us how to cling to our Savior, and be rescued from the second death in hell.
