Divine
grace - “But He is compassionate. He forgave their sin. He did not
destroy them. He restrained His anger many times. He did not display all
of His fury” (Psalm 78:38) - and human sin - “How often they rebelled
against Him in the wilderness! How often they caused Him grief in the
desert! Again and again, they tested God and they pushed the Holy One of
Israel to the limit. They did not remember His power ... “ (Psalm
78:40-43): This is the story of human history. When God’s love is thrown
back at Him by persistently rebellious sinners, there will be divine
judgment - “They tested God Most High and rebelled against Him ... When
God heard, He became furious ... “ (Psalm 78:56-64). Where God is angry,
it can lead to restoration - “ ... He struck His enemies from behind He
built His holy place to be like the high heavens ... He chose His
servant David ... ” (Psalm 78:65-72).
