Psalm 74 seems to have been written following the destruction of the temple by Nebuchadnezzar. God's people have been taken to Babylon in captivity. The Psalmist wants to know why, as Almighty as God is, hasn't He acted against those who have desecrated His temple?
Why? We could ask the same thing, today? Why is God not acting against those who have made His places of Worship something other than places of prayer, places to worship Him? Why are men and women allowed to preach false gospels in buildings that were built for His glory? Why does He permit it? Or, does He?
Have we, too, been led into captivity and we're so blind to who God is that we don't even know it? Have we turned our backs on Him and we're so blind that we cannot even see that? Have we become God's enemies?
Lot's of questions to ponder as we enter into a new calendar year... May they help us to look within ourselves and turn in a new and renewed direction that will build up His temple, glorifying His Holy Name.
God's Peace - Pr. J
