**Psalm 73:17** — *"until I entered God's sanctuary; then I discerned their end."*
Asaph had been watching the prosperous wicked and losing his footing. Not his faith entirely — but his *perspective*. He confessed he nearly slipped (v.2). The turning point wasn't an argument he won or a sermon he heard. It was sanctuary. Presence. Standing in the place where God dwells and letting that vantage point reorder what he saw.
The sanctuary didn't change the wicked. It changed Asaph's *discernment*.
There is a kind of clarity that only comes from abiding near God — not studying *about* Him from a distance, but entering His courts with the weight of what troubles you still on your shoulders.
What looks like triumph from the street looks very different from the altar.
Let us reflect on what we might finally discern if we stopped reasoning from the outside and stepped, once more, into His presence.
