DO NOT TAKE HIS LOVE FOR GRANTED (Psalm 80)

Psalm 80:2
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come [and] save us.

The children of Israel after their exodus from Egypt had the habit of continually going against the way of the Lord, they just kept whoring with other gods. They seem to always want to rebel.

Romans 10:21
 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

However, while the people where holding on to their being children of Abraham without walking in faith as he did, the Heavenly Father was taking care of the whole world. Salvation to all, that all nations will return to Him.

Matthew 3:9
 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to [our] father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

For Abraham was a blessing to all people.

Genesis 18:18
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

It had always been about all. No one was left out.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Yes, no one was left out, everyone was counted in.

What love, what care.

We thus learn from their err and do not repeat same.

Romans 11:18-22(NLT)
But you must not brag about being grafted in to replace the branches that were broken off. You are just a branch, not the root.
“Well,” you may say, “those branches were broken off to make room for me.”
Yes, but remember—those branches were broken off because they didn’t believe in Christ, and you are there because you do believe. So don’t think highly of yourself, but fear what could happen.
For if God did not spare the original branches, he won’t spare you either.
Notice how God is both kind and severe. He is severe toward those who disobeyed, but kind to you if you continue to trust in his kindness. But if you stop trusting, you also will be cut off.

We are wise, we treasure what we have, we do not take the Heavenly Father's love for granted.

Psalms 80:17-19
Strengthen the man you love, the son of your choice.
Then we will never abandon you again. Revive us so we can call on your name once more.
Turn us again to yourself, O  lord God of Heaven’s Armies. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved.

The revelation of Christ kept coming up through scriptures, yet they did not know Him when He was finally revealed. No wonder Christ told them:

John 5:39
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

Halleluyah, the Heavenly Father's love was expressed in the Son.

We worship you dear Father, all the glory honour and praise to your Holy name. Halleluyah.

You call us blessed.

Love
@the watcher
