Psalm 106

It took me about 5 minutes to read this psalm; a psalm that repeatedly speaks of the wonders of God admidst the sin and rebellion of the nation of Israel.  This should be a message of both warning and encouragement to the church. The Almighty seeks to encourage us that he understands our frailities. His expectation of his people is to struggle with sin. God knows that as long as we live in this life we will constantly be faced with the opportunities to choose our own ways; to device our own stand of morality. God has provided grace so that through him we can overcome a culture of death; just of Israel did. God also warns us not to be in continual and open rebellion toward him. If we accept the standards of this world we reject the standards of God, and he will soon reject us.
