Psalm 75:1 (NLT), "We thank you, O God! We give thanks because you are near. People everywhere tell of your wonderful deeds." Wednesday... Yes, yes, this is so, so important to know.

Yes, God allows them but who and what are so important and we need to hold on to them especially during our whys. Now the rest of verse 11 says, "Unleash your powerful fist and destroy them." and that tells us that Asaph has seen God work in other times.
