Psalm 78, O my Lord who hast given and taken and continues to love his people today, I just want to say that I love you and obey you Father, I want to share your exciting deeds today in 2013 so people will know you are a God of Miracles for all your people. This is about mighty miracles, do you know what miracles are? They are an event that man can not explain from all his knowledge and is created by God to show his people he is real, living, and for them to worship and praise the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. When people see God at work what stops them from spreading the good news or to stop their sinning and sin no more? Adam had a great deal to do with fallen men and women right up until this moment, and God as you will see in this holy scripture is teaching while loving his people, and sometimes there is tough love too. AS parents you know what discipline your children is about, you still follow through even though you love them very deeply, just do not love their behavior. God’s law is the word and the word, living God is our Father Who Art In Heaven.
“Faith Of Our Father, Holy Faith” IN this scripture the people of Ephraim, were fully armed and ready for battle, but the day of battle they turned their backs and fled, because they did not obey the Lords laws that were taught to the past fathers generations ago and passed down, still they thought they did not need to obey what they had been taught by their fathers or to believe the great miracles in those early generations. Whew, what happens next? They had forgot the wonderful miracles God had done for them and for their fathers in Egypt. He divided the sea and they were saved, in the daytime in the desert he led them by a cloud and at night by a pillar of fire. He even split open rocks in the wilderness to give them plenty of water to drink, yet they kept on their rebellion, sinning against the God who is above all gods. They demanded other better food as well as water, then he opened the windows of heaven and rained down manna, bread from heaven and so the people ate the angel’s food. God called forth an east wind and guided the south wind and he rained down birds to fall all among the people and on their tents and the people at to their fill, and before they had finished the bird meat in their mouths, the anger of the Lord rose against them and killed the finest of Israel’s young men. Yet even so the people kept on sinning and refused to believe in miracles, so he cut their lives short and gave them years of terror and disaster.
Then at last, when he had ruined them, they walked awhile behind him, how earnestly they turned around and followed him! Then they remembered that God was their rock—that their Savior was the God above all gods. But it was only with their words they followed him not with their hearts their hearts were far away. They did not keep their promises. Yet he was merciful and forgave their sins and didn’t destroy them all. Many and many a time he held back his anger. For he remembered that they were merely mortal men, gone in a moment like a breath of wind.
After all this and the people still were sinning God decided to reject Joseph’s family, the tribe if Ephraim, and chose the tribe of Judah—and Mount Zion which he loved. There he built a towering temple and chose his servant David, from feeding sheep, and God promised David to his people as their shepherd and he (David) cared for them with a true heart and skillful hands.”
I love Jesus my mighty living God, The Father, The Son, and Holy Ghost, forever and ever!!!
Amen and Amen!!!
