Today, I am reading and commenting on  Psalms 78-81.

The psalmist reminds us that God asks two things of us.  First, that we obey His commands.  Second that we tell the next generation about His power and the wonders He has done, both those we have witnessed and those we were told about by those who went before us.  God asks this of us so that the next generation will put their trust in Him, just as we have done (at least, I hope that you have put your trust in God as I strive to do).  The psalmist goes on to describe how the nations, the peoples of this world, are asking “Where is their God?”.  They attack those who believe in God and seek to serve Him, belittling the idea that He even exists.  Then in the last of today’s psalms, he tells us that if only we would listen to God and follow His ways, He would subdue those who hate Him.  So, let us cry out to God and ask Him to make His face shine upon us, let us listen to what He asks of us, so that we might be saved.  Then He will act and transform us into His likeness, and heal our society.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
