A philosopher has said that one thing we learn from history, is that we don't learn anything from history. Instead, we keep repeating our mistakes. Considering the story of Israel( and our own lives), it does seem that sin takes us through the same cycles; God provides, but we fail to trust. God judges and we turn back to Him. God forgives, but we rebel once again.
Psalm 78:56-72 ends with good news. Despite Israel's rebellion, God chose for them a godly king, David, to be their shepherd v 72 So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands. We know that through David's lineage, the ultimate Shepherd and King has come to lead and redeem God's people.
Praise the Lord that God is not bound by the chains of human history! Jesus is able to redeem the failures of our past and transform our future Today, don't put God to the test through continued disobedience and faithlessness. Make a decision to obey and trust Him with the details of your life. He longs to shepherd and guide you!
