Psalm 78:1-77
Key Verse:
1-2
“Listen, my people, to my teaching; tilt your ears toward the
words of my mouth. I will open my mouth with a proverb.” CEB
We have before us today
Psalm which recounts the history of God with the people of Israel up until the reign
of David. It begins with an invitation to listen. In Romans Paul reminds us
that someone is unable to have faith unless they have heard. Faith cannot to
those who have not experienced Jesus for themselves, unless we share what God
has done. Those of us who have seen, who have heard, who have experienced the love
and grace of God ourselves must be willing to join the Psalmist in recounting what
we know for all those who will hear. We too must proclaim the goodness, the
greatness, the grace, the mercy and the forgiveness of God and live out its
truth in our lives. Let us be a voice like John the Baptist proclaiming the
goodness of gospel. And when we hear the truth proclaimed by others, such as the
Psalmist let us rejoice together in knowing we serve a good God who works with people
and draws people into true relationship. God desires to know us as we learn to know
God.
A Prayer
for Today
God of
grace and power, of mercy and love, help me to see you today. Help me to know
you in my life. Help me to see you at work I my life. Help me to hear the truth
of who you are as it is proclaimed by those who love you and have experienced you
at work. Let me join with them in their proclamation. Let me share the truth of
your character with my actions as well as my words. Amen
