## Resource

Psalm 79 is a communal lament prayed after devastating judgment. Jerusalem is in ruins, the temple is defiled, and God's people are shamed among the nations. In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, Dave Jenkins explains how Psalm 79 teaches believers to respond when sin has consequences, through lament, repentance, and hope in God's mercy. This passage calls us to: • Acknowledge the seriousness of sin • Cry out to God in humility • Appeal to God's glory and covenant faithfulness • Rest in His mercy through Christ Because of Jesus Christ, judgment is not the final word, mercy is. 👉 For more from Reading the Bible Daily with Dave: https://servantsofgrace.org/reading-the-bible-daily-with-dave/
