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

I am going to take what I write today from the first and last psalms of today’s passage.  The first psalm tells us to tell the next generation the things we have heard from “of old”, things which the current generation perceives as hidden.  Things which our contemporaries have hidden from those around us.  Instead let us speak of the praiseworthy deeds of God, the wonders He has performed which demonstrate His power and love.  The psalmist reminds us how time and again people have forgotten what God has done for their ancestors and for them and refused to keep His commands.  They have suffered for it.  Yet when they called out to God from their suffering He has answered their prayers and come to them once more.  Then in the last psalm, God says through the psalmist, “If only My people would listen to Me, I would subdue their enemies and those who hate Me would cringe before Me.”  Let us listen to God and sing for joy.  Let us not forget the wonderful things which God has done for us.  Instead let us turn from our sins and sing praise to God.  Let us tell others about how wonderful God is.

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