"Unbreakable"

"For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: that the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: and might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not steadfast with God." (Psalms 78:5-8) Yes I know, four verses at a time seems a little different; but the thing is, they could not be broken up! I know it's a lot to take in, but you have got to see the reason for the unity of the Scripture. First of which, the "testimony" "established" "in Jacob" was set by God, not Jacob; Jacob had no clue what God was going to do, nor did he have any part in the establishment of the testimony, except that he was Jacob! As far as the "law" "appointed" "in Israel," that law was manifested with the testimony, that Israel would be a people governed by God; be they willing, unwilling, obedient, or rebellious, none of that really mattered, because regardless of there actions, they were a people governed by God. How that plays out in real life, well that is totally dependent upon how well they listen and obey; because regardless of their actions, they are still being governed by God: they do what's right, things go good; they don't do what is right, things don't go so good. That's what "governed by God" looks like, don't you know?
I think the key portion of this Scripture is the part that says, "That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments." Isn't that really what it's all about? I mean, really; we can make it harder or softer all we want, but when it comes right down to it, that's the bottom line...
""For the LORD will pass through the land to strike down the Egyptians. But when he sees the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe, the LORD will pass over your home. He will not permit his death angel to enter your house and strike you down. Remember, these instructions are a permanent law that you and your descendants must observe forever. When you enter the land the LORD has promised to give you, you will continue to observe this ceremony. Then your children will ask, 'What does the ceremony mean?' And you will reply, 'It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, for he passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt. And though he struck the Egyptians, he spared our families.'" When Moses had finished speaking, all the people bowed down to the ground and worshiped. So the people of Israel did just as the LORD commanded through Moses and Aaron." (Exodus 12:23-28) NLT
