O God of Our Salvation

This Psalm describes the situation after Jerusalem's fall to the Babylonian armies in 586 BC. This was the time of Zedekiah's rule as king 2 Chronicles chapter 36, reading from verse 12. In Psalm 79 we see that the Babylonian army had come showing no mercy to the Israelites. God had done so much for Isael and they turned their back on God. all people have this tendency to lose track to get distracted, to chase after something other than God's presence, God's will, and God's word. He knows this about us, but He loves us and He sent a savior for us. The tragedy of all of this is that the Israelites were there to represent God to give glory to God's name and for them to be a light to all the surrounding nations. But instead, they took on the darkness from the surrounding nations and began to scoff God themselves. When we're busy chasing after our own glory, thinking about our own name or legacy, we lose track of the purpose behind being the light for God's glory and surrendering our way to follow his way. If you genuinely love somebody, then you want them to be able to receive the fullness of your love and for them to receive that, I will need to speak their language. So why do people only want to show God love the way they want to love God when God has done so much for us? Call on God during the hard times but be at a place in your relationship with God where when those times come, God is close, and you are close to God's heart as well. God will respond. God does come to the rescue. He has in my life continuously and I know that He will in years as well.
