The number of times this Scripture says that they (Israel) did not REMEMBER God. They didn’t remember who He was and what He had done for them. Their folly was in believing that God wasn’t truly God and He wasn’t truly good. A reminder to me: REMEMBER. Mary Beth. God is truly God, and He is truly good.
“He les them with a shepherd’s heart and guided them with a skillful hand.” (v.72)
Reading about all of the times the lord is patient with his people and thinking about the times he has been patient with me changes your whole perspective on the day. Who can I be patient with today? Even if they mess up or frustrate me, who can I show grace to?
8and that they should not be like their fathers,
a stubborn and rebellious generation,
a generation whose heart was not steadfast,
whose spirit was not faithful to God.-ellie
It is good to remember even our own sin and recount the mighty salvation the Lord has wrought for us. Not to be stricken with guilt, but to be in awe of the kind shepherding hand of the Father.
Amen! I was stricken with guilt and unworthiness today. Feeling like I don’t understand why God even loves me, considering my great and continual sin. But the gospel tells a different story, and the Holy Spirit will preach that to me when I feel like it’s too good to be true.
This morning I woke up feeling convicted about gossiping. A few weeks ago I read Isaiah 1:17 where it says ‘Learn to do good’ and my prayer is ‘Lord teach me how to do good’.
Lord teach me how to stop gossiping. This is a sin I keep battling with. Perhaps by prayer and fasting I will stop. Psalm 78 is telling me to pay attention to God’s word. Listen to his word.
*MORALE* I can’t do this in my own but as it says in Psalm 37 I must trust in Him and do good.
It gives me hope on days when I feel like I’m failing or have lost sight of what God has done, and brought me through, that they also forgot. He performed miracles right before their eyes, multiple times, still they doubted and didn’t trust the Lord. May we cling to the word and it’s truth that He is our rock and our redeemer.
38 Yet he, being compassionate,
atoned for their iniquity
and did not destroy them;
he restrained his anger often
and did not stir up all his wrath.
39 He remembered that they were but flesh,
a wind that passes and comes not again.
I love these verses! Just a reminder of how God knows we are human and that we sin. What matters to Him is how we deal with this sin.
37-39 “Their heart was not steadfast toward him; they were not faithful to his covenant. Yet he, being compassionate, atoned for their iniquity and did not destroy them; he restrained his anger often
and did not stir up all his wrath. He remembered that they were but flesh,
a wind that passes and comes not again”. 2nd (3rd, 4th, 10th) chances?
Only at 16%….but going strong. Haven’t missed a day. I’m really enjoying these Psalm days though. Anyone else liking how these passages are sprinkled in among the rest?
This passage is a beautiful reminder to me to pass on to my child (and hopefully someday children!) the stories of God’s work in my life and in our family. We have the whole Bible to share with them of God’s works and faithfulness. I feel it’s also important to share with our children the legacy of God’s grace in our lives as well. How He has carried us through the valleys and difficulties and how He has shared His abundance. “4 We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.” I pray this is a task I can uphold-to share the word of God through the Bible and my own personal experiences of God with my descendants.
We should all be writing the stories of God’s work in our lives. It would be so helpful when we reach low valleys and need reminders of his steadfast love and His promises.
So good. Thank you ladies for all your comments, they add such sweetness. It is truly a blessing to be in the Word with all of you. Let’s keep pressing on… Soon we will hit 51% :)
7 Then they would put their trust in God
and would not forget his deeds
but would keep his commands.
8 They would not be like their ancestors—
a stubborn and rebellious generation,
whose hearts were not loyal to God,
whose spirits were not faithful to him.
I pray for this description to fit our generation. I pray that we strive to make His name known!
I was struck by these two verses…34 Whenever God slew them, they would seek him; they eagerly turned to him again.
35 They remembered that God was their Rock, that God Most High was their Redeemer.
Sometimes we blame Satan for suffering, and while it is often him, sometimes our loving God brings it too…like a shepherd training his sheep.

I just noticed that too! Yes I guess so:)

I love how David was a good shepherd who tended to his sheep’s. :)

72With upright heart he shepherded them
and guided them with his skillful hand.

Wow I really needed to hear that. That has left an impression on my heart and has be a great help

Yes! I also think this is a great reminder to us to try to be compassionate and forgiving with one another.
my heart touched as i read this verse. How faithful is He!

Woohoo!! That is AWESOME, Erin!

I love how God chose David towards the end of the chapter. We spoke about David today in church, so this is nice to see! :)

I love this Psalm. One of my favorites. So much history and depth.

How beautiful is this verse? Psalm 78:25 Human beings ate the bread of angels; he sent them all the food they could eat.
I just love that description of manna…it speaks so much of God’s love for us. It’s like a moment in time when heaven and earth shared the same food!
Wow!
What a great thought…I never looked at it that way.
It’s also up to us to continue to teach the power of the Lord in the hopes that future generations don’t mistrust him and experience his proof
I was struck by these two verses…34 Whenever God slew them, they would seek him; they eagerly turned to him again.

Well that just summarises the first few books of the Bible nice and neatly, haha!
Haha… Yep!
