Psalm 81

“I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it” (v10).  The Israelites were reminded that the Lord had rescued them from Egypt when they were helpless.  “I relieved your shoulder of the burden … In distress you called, and I delivered you” (v6-7).  This same Lord called on Israel to trust Him (not foreign armies, v9). “Oh, that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!” (v13). 

“With honey from the rock I would satisfy you” (v16). Fellowship with God through Jesus is “honey from the rock.” In Him alone we find forgiveness, security, and hope for tomorrow.
