Good morning,
We will be doing a historical study of Psalms 105, 106, 107, and Acts 7. Our focus will be on Israel, the Church, and the United States. Today we will study Psalm 106:6-42 the Rejection of God’s Plan. This Psalm shows us the goodness of God and the sinfulness of the people.
“We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.” (Psalm 106:6)
As you read this portion of Scripture, think about all the blessings God has given to you. Then determine if you are in the same position as the people rejecting God’s blessings.
Rejection of God’s Plan v 6-42
a) We have sinned v 6
b) Red Sea V 7-12
1) God’s mighty power made known v 8
2) Dries Red Sea v 9-10

4) Turned away from God v 39
5) God’s wrath kindled v 40-42
k) God’s deliverance v 43-48
1) God hears their cry v43-44
2) God remembers His covenant v 45
3) God allows them to be captured v 46
4) People repent and praise God v 47-48
There were consequences to rejection and obedience. Death, plague, strife, and God’s wrath are all examples of the consequences of choosing to reject God. Deliverance comes with obedience.
You choose!
