Asaph almost lost his faith doing math. The wicked prospered, the faithful struggled, and the ledger refused to balance, until he walked into the sanctuary and the numbers changed.

Some equations only solve in the presence of God. Bring your unbalanced ledger with you today, every entry that mocks your obedience. Worship is where perspective gets recalculated, and where portfolios get reappraised.

Asaph's crisis was empirical, and so was his cure. The data outside the sanctuary said faithfulness was a losing trade. The view inside added the missing column, final destinies, and suddenly the envied portfolios were standing on slippery ground while he was holding the only permanent asset: God Himself, portion forever.

Isaiah's new heavens and new earth is that same sanctuary view at maximum zoom. Former things forgotten, wolves grazing beside lambs, a city God delights in. When the near-term math mocks your obedience, borrow the long lens. The books balance. They just balance later, and forever.
