Whoa! this one is a long one, compared to the others we have read in Psalms.
I didn't pick out a particular verse today, but more a sense of what God must feel when looking at his people. And probably when looking at us.
The chapter talks about how every time God blesses his people, they wind up turning away from him. They become self-reliant in their riches and wealth. Inevitably God has to tear them back down to bring them back to him. Sound familiar? I see that same pattern in society today. Not just a shade of a similarity.....but EXACTLY! We don't seem to learn where it all comes from.
pheew that eas long and yep you are right on, this isn't a passage about the past but a passage about us as humans. History repeating itself over and over. We probably can't stop itfor society but can we at least learn for oursselves?
