“I removed his shoulder from the burden: His hands were delivered from the pots. Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee At the waters of Meribah. Selah.”
Psalm 81:6-7 KJV
Asaph reminds Israel, ““I have removed your backbreaking burdens and have freed your hands from the hard labor and toil. You called out to me in your time of trouble, and I rescued you. I came down from the realm of the secret place of thunder, where mysteries hide. I came down to save you. I tested your hearts at the place where there was no water to drink, the place of your bitter argument with me.” Pause in his presence”. These burdens were what the Hebrew slaves carried for their Egyptian masters, which God removed when He rescued them. For the congregation of the children of Israel set out on their journey, according to the commandment of the Lord, and camped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink. Therefore the people contended with Moses, and said, “Give us water, that we may drink.” So Moses said to them, “Why do you contend with me? Why do you tempt the Lord?” So he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the contention of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord. The Lord Jesus came down from glory to deliver us from our sins. He wants us to believe in what He did on the Cross to make us righteous. There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved, except the Name of Jesus. Let’s not contend about this but freely believe in the Name above all names, JESUS. Amen!
