Today: [Psalm 79-80] The Jealousy and Mercy of God. In these two psalms we see a plea for deliverance by a Joseph company under the oppression of the enemy. There will be times in your life you will find yourself in circumstances familiar to Joseph’s life’s experience. These passages speak of God as the shepherd of a Joseph generation. Just as Joseph went down into the pit to be sold by his brethren – even so Jesus was betrayed and went down into hell to affect our salvation.
