Psalm 74:12-23
In yesterday’s reading, the psalmist painted a depressing picture, asking whether God has cast us off forever. Today we get an antidote to that perspective: recounting the Lord’s prior deeds and faithfulness while petitioning Him for His ongoing favor. Indeed, whenever we drift into thinking that God is absent or we start to listen to the enemy’s whispers of aspersions on His character, it is good to review what He has done and Who He really is. That is one of the many benefits of our practice of sharing “glory sightings”. We remind one another that God is good, and He is faithful, and His steadfast love endures forever. As He has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Heb. 13:5)
