Psalm 81
This is another psalm of Asaph, essentially it seems to be a call to worship God exuberantly.
It begins with a call to sing for joy to \god, remember that is Philippians Paul calls on us to rejoice. Then we are called to use musical instruments. \we are also given part of the motivation: “God is our strength”. All sorts of things will seek to stop us worshipping God, but we must not give in to them. Worshipping God is an ordinance, it is what we should do, and what we must do.
God removed the burden of Egyptian slavery from the shoulders of the Israelites, it is in God’s nature to set us free from oppression.
“If only you would listen”, there was a point when Jesus wept over Jerusalem, knowing that her refusal to recognise Him would lead only to suffering. If only they would worship only Him,” But my people would not listen”, these are tragic words and we should pay heed to the warnings. If we trust in the Lord and worship Him we shall be free.
