—Psalm 81
by: Kristin Camenga.
This psalm helps me to see God’s perspective on His covenant with the Israelites. I hear God’s longing to be in relationship with them as He cried out a warning to worship Him only, to remember who He is and what He had done for them. The choice presented was stark: in disobedience, the Israelites were given over to their own devices; in obedience, God would fill them with wheat and honey and subdue their enemies. Father, help us understand how much You long for a relationship with us! Give us a longing to obey so that you can satisfy us fully!
