As we read this Psalm recounting the history of Israel with God, I believe we have a tendency to wonder how they could have ignored so great a testimony of His love, His power, His divine intervention that was so frequently manifested? Then, the conviction comes, so do we.
James 1:22-25 so eloquently compares reading Psalms like 78 and not allowing it to be a reflective moment, seeing our own story in the mirror of the truth of His Word, we as James puts it, "deceive ourselves." So much of the accounts in Scripture are not just for a history lesson but for the benefit of our own history, our own history with God.
How has God made Himself real to you? How have you found Him to be real in the lives of people you know and trust? Are you still holding a passion filled, life defining, moment by moment governing relationship with Him at arms length?
Let Him in!
Pastor Fred
