O God, why have you rejected us forever?
Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture? Psalms 74:1
Do you ever feel like the people in the Bible are blessed because they're so good? Or, do you feel like God hears their prayers but not yours? Psalm 74 and yesterday's, Psalm 73, are examples of people thinking and saying the same things I do! Why does that person that does evil prosper? How long will these trials last?
This psalm probably dates from the time when the Caldeans destroyed the Temple and the city of Jerusalem. The main emphasis of the opening verse lies in the argument which arose from Israel’s close relationship with God. Were they not his congregation? Was not the Temple his own chosen sanctuary? Did not these facts constitute the reason why he should come with swift footsteps to undo the evils that their foes were inflicting? The invaders were his (thine) adversaries. The Temple was the dwelling-place of his (thy) name.
Join me in reading Psalm 74 and be encouraged!
