Psalms 106 - Summary of the Israelites' Disobedience

39 They became filthy because of what they did.
They behaved like prostitutes.

40 The Lord burned with anger against his own people.
He was disgusted with those who belonged to him.

41 He handed them over to other nations,
and those who hated them ruled them.

42 Their enemies oppressed them
and made them subject to their power.

43 He rescued them many times,
but they continued to plot rebellion against him
and to sink deeper because of their sin.

44 He saw that they were suffering
when he heard their cry for help.

45 He remembered his promise to them.
In keeping with his rich mercy, he changed his plans.

46 He let them find compassion
from all those who held them captive.
Psalms 106:39-46 (GW)

Reflection of B:

This chapter continues on what happened to the Israelites after God had performed many miracles for them. They disobeyed God and sinned even though God saved them each time. They brought sufferings to themselves. But God was still compassionate to them because He remembered His promise to Abraham.


Yes, that's the God we Christian have. Our God always give us chances and forgive us when we repent. But we need to be careful not to take His compassion for granted.


Dear Lord,
Thank You for Your mercy and love. Let me not take Your goodness for granted but to honour You in my life.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
