Psalm 78. The narrative of Israel coming out of Egypt to wander in the wilderness. Imagine being born as a slave for 18-19 years in Egypt, then a few years crossing the Red Sea, staying at Mount Sinai, and then wandering in the wilderness for 40 years eating the same manna every day and watching your family die. We claim that we wish we lived during God’s wondrous works, but it was often in His anger that he showed His power and often the people who saw his works were not faithful. We do not need to learn something new every Sunday, but we need to review the old stories that we take for granted and disregard. New material is often false teachers/error. Christian parents teach their children the Bible stories and the children grow to despise it and then the grandchildren have never heard the Bible stories. In one generation the knowledge is lost. Teach your children who God is, what He has done, and the cost if they despise the truth.

Psalm 77. Is the Lord still with me? It shows long term consequences of sin the rest of your life. The Israelites wandered in the wilderness for 40 yrs and were captives in Babylon. It instructs to give audible (not silent) prayer and praise. Hebrews 5:6-11. God heard Jesus’ vehement cries, tears, and godly fear –yet Jesus was not saved from death. God is as personal, loving, and great God. Verses 7-9, asks, Is the Lord still with me? Verses 10-12 give the solution of remembering and mediating on what God has done for you. As I remember who God is and what He has done, I begin to see a change in me. Why does verse 15 select Jacob and Joseph specifically? Jacob and Joseph both said on their deathbed to not bury them in Egypt but rather in the Promised Land because the future promise was beyond their lifespan. When Moses and the Israelites flee pharaoh, they make sure to take Joseph’s bones with them..

Psalm 69:28. Exodus 32:32-33. On the day of judgement, God will blot out the names of those who sin and do not turn away from their rebellion. Psalm 109:14 Either your sin is blotted out or your name is blotted out of the book of the living. Everyone’s name is initially in the book of the living because Jesus paid for inherited sin until the name is blotted out later for your own sin. Revelation 3:1-6. People say they are alive, but are spiritually dead. Revelation 13:8. Revelation 20:11-15. There is no repentance at the great white throne. Revelation 21:22-27. Nothing shall enter that defiles, abdomination, lie -only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

Psalm 68. God will arise and outpour His wrath. When the Lord gave the word, kings of armies fled. A very violent time with so much bloodshed that you can’t keep from stepping on it. Compliance is not surrender. God has to rule with an iron rod. Isaiah 43. Zechariah 14. God allows evil to build up His wrath so that even the wicked know they deserve judgement and do not repent but gnash their teeth. This psalm of judgement and death disturbs us for we are commissioned to save the wicked during this age of salvation from this destructive end.

Psalm 67 is part of the section of psalms that are odes (songs) to God after the group of Michtam (pillar) psalms of reminders of what God has done. While Psalm 66 was written about creation and Israel, Psalm 67 was written about Gentiles. Verse 2, God’s way may be known on earth with salvation among all nations. God wants to show His mercy and blessing to all. All nations are converted/come to salvation the same way. Jews have to convert to salvation the same way as Gentiles. Verse 3 and 5, all peoples praise you. Verse 4, the nations be glad and sing for joy. Verse 6 should be in the past tense rather than future tense. People are attracted to the truth. They are drawn from the lies to the truth.

Psalm 65. David calls all men to praise God. He begins by describing a God who hears the prayers of the needs and concerns of men. God has the right to destroy us as soon as we sin, but He offers atonement. God has chosen you to bless just as God chose David to be king and Israel to be His people. After we atone with God, we are credited with righteousness. We become a part of the awesome court of heaven. Mountains were made during great upheaval. God made mountains when breaking open the waters of the flood. God uses mountains to describe our prayer. Faith can move mountains. If we knew the power of who we are praying to, our praying would change. The oceans are another geographical wonder and God can still the waves. We can do nothing against the power of water storms, but to God it is nothing. The people are afraid of the One who can do such signs with mountains and seas. The end of the psalm changes direction from a powerful God to a God who also gives gentle provision. He is a God who brings fear and thankfulness.
