Psalms 73:11
“They say, “How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?””
What does Psalms 73:11 mean?
These words capture the voice of someone in deep doubt, asking how God could possibly know what's happening in the world when injustice seems to run rampant. The psalmist is expressing the kind of question that rises up when we watch wrongdoing go unpunished and good people suffer, leading us to wonder if God is even paying attention. It's the raw, unfiltered protest of faith stretched thin, not a settled conclusion but a cry of confusion. The beauty of the psalms is that they give us permission to voice these doubts honestly, as a step toward working through them rather than burying them.
