Psalms 73:19

"How are they become a desolation in a moment!

They are utterly consumed with terrors.

As a dream when one awaketh,

So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou wilt despise their image.

For my soul was grieved, And I was pricked in my heart:

So brutish was I, and ignorant;

I was as a beast before thee."

"I was as a beast before thee" (Psalms 73:22). In these verses, the Psalmist admits the ignorant foolishness of the thoughts which had tempted him. It is true of every man who under any circumstance whatever becomes either distrustful or critical of God. Whatever false logic the devil may use to support his suggestions, let the child of God refuse it. Failure to do so can only bring eternal sorrow.
