Meditations in the Psalms

June 26th

Psalm 78:62-66

The terrible consequences of Israel’s sin and disobedience are described in today’s portion of Psalm 78. It is a reminder of what our sin brings to our lives. But, the text also reveals that God will never give up on His people; His covenant is unconditional, and His love will never end. We thank the Lord for that!

1. The death of His people – verse 62
2. The destruction of marriage – verse 63
3. The desecration of the priesthood – verse 64
4. The decision of the Lord to stop it – verse 65
5. The defeat of Israel’s enemies – verse 66

Were it not for God’s interventions throughout the history of Israel, there would be no Israel today. In spite of the tragedies that occurred, God was still delivering His people. What wonderful encouragement that is to our hearts!
