  Psalm 73:13-17(ESV)

  ¹³ All in vain have I kept my heart clean

  and washed my hands in innocence.

  ¹⁴ For all the day long I have been stricken

  and rebuked every morning.

  ¹⁵ If I had said, “I will speak thus,”

  I would have betrayed the generation of your children.

  ¹⁶ But when I thought how to understand this,

  it seemed to me a wearisome task,

  ¹⁷ until I went into the sanctuary of God;

  then I discerned their end.

• Personal Study/Reflection
• Read the passage slowly and pause to linger over notable words and phrases. Ask questions to explore the Bible passage for truths, challenges, or lessons about life, the gospel, or Christian life. As you answer your questions, engage in personal reflection and respond to how God is using the passage to speak to you today.  (You can refer to the Inductive Bible Study guidelines at the top of this page.)
