“Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.” Psalm 73:16
The saints of old time found understanding in the sanctuary of God. The person who wrote this Psalm didn’t find understanding until they went there. If we are seeking to understand this would be the place to be.

“Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King”
I really love the song “Hark! the Herald”. It has so much Bible in it. I decided I wanted to share some Scriptures from it.
Jesus is the king.
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.” Isaiah 9:6-7
“ And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.” Luke 1:31-33
Accomplish Through Christ
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13
The Bible tells us that doing things through Christ is that which strengthens us.
”The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.” Proverbs 10:29
“ It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.” Proverbs 21:15
”[F]or the joy of the LORD is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10
That “which” belongs in that verse. Man lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. (Matt. 4:4) God wants us to know that doing right things through Christ, and His way will give us strength.
If you are trying to do something, to overcome a bad habit, or to accomplish something that is truly worthwhile, then you should do it for the Lord. This will give you strength, and will help you to finish.
“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6
” Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.” John 4:34
Happy New Year!

“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
