Daily Bible Reading “God Help Us” (Psalm 106:24-33)

God Help Us

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 106:24-33. In this Psalm, we’re reminded again of how the children of Israel saw all of God’s wondrous works, yet they rebelled and turned their backs on Him. Have we ever been guilty of the same thing? In this portion of the chapter, the Psalmist tells us they despised the land and didn’t believe God’s Word.

They murmured and complained about everything God gave them and wouldn’t listen to His voice. He became angry with them and lifted up His hand to destroy them in the wilderness. He overthrew their descendants and scattered them among the nations.

They even took wives from the local idol-worshipers and joined Baalpeor in eating the sacrifices of the dead. They made God so angry that He poured a plague out on them. Then, an Israelite named Phinehas took a stand, executed judgment, and the plague was stopped. His act was credited to him as righteousness from generation to generation (Numbers 25).

The people angered Moses and God with their strife, so much that Moses spoke against them. They grumbled and complained until Moses lost his patience with them. But then, Moses stood up for them and asked God to have mercy on them even though they were ungrateful. Do you have people in your life who try your patience and need your forgiveness repeatedly, yet you stick with them? Think about how Moses must have felt standing up to God for the children of Israel.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 106:24-33

24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:

25 But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:

27 To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.

31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.

32 They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

 

Things to think about:

  • What were some of the things the children of Israel did to anger God?
  • What did God do to punish them for their rebellion?
  • Who took a stand this time?
  • How did Moses react to their complaints?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 106 where the Psalmist warns us against complaining about the things God has provided for us. He shows us there are consequences for our rebellion. Help us to be grateful and thankful. Help us to be faithful followers of Christ. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

It is a great book to read if you’re ever feeling down or need to renew your relationship with Christ. King David went through a lot of tough times in his lifetime, but he loved God and trusted God to protect him from his enemies.

The book of Psalms was written by various people. About half of it was attributed to King David, whether they were written by David or for David is questioned by some biblical scholars. Some of the Psalms were written by Asaph and some say they were written for the sons of Korah and even Moses and Solomon were writers of the Psalms. The Psalms consists of poetry that was primarily meant to be used as songs of praise to the Lord.
