Psalm 78

What i call a historical passage, Ps. 78 is somewhat lengthy. It traces God’s relationship with Israel and concludes with David.

It reveals the frequent rebellions of His people. They (we) fall into dis-chord with Him, He chastens them, they straighten up for a while, and quickly resort to their old ways. It must get tiring to be the God of such fickle children.

David Wilkerson, founder of Teen Challenge, author, and former pastor of Times-Square Church, once told of his frequent back-slidings. He could feel his heart grow cold if he missed his daily devotions. He knew he needed a fresh breaking, so he would get a hotel room for 3 days to fast and pray to receive a heart adjustment.

The antidote? … be in God’s Word EVERY DAY. Be obedient to every prompting of His Spirit. Receive fresh grace to handle every task. Pray CONTINUALLY.
