“Yea, they turned back and tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel. They remembered not his hand, Nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.”
Psalm 78:41-42 KJV
Asaph’s reminder, “Again and again they limited God, preventing Him from blessing them. Continually they turned back from Him and provoked the Holy One of Israel! They forgot His great love, how He took them by His hand, and with redemption’s kiss He delivered them from their enemies.” This has been Israel’s history of the stubbornness of their heart to remember not the miracles that God did for them in the past and therefore limiting God. This is the same with us in the new covenant, we forget God’s mercy in sending Jesus to the Cross to remove our sins and we turn around and ask, “Why did this happen to me?” We tempt God, just like the children of Israel. Let’s not blame God when we are tempted! God cannot be tempted by evil, and He doesn't use evil to tempt others. We remember that He Who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Our hearts are filled with never ending gratitude for His unlimited grace. Amen!
