"Sorrow Over Jerusalem"

PSALMS 79 [A Psalm of Asaph.]
There sure was a lot going on in those several months of Psalms 78, as there is expected to be during these next two Psalms. This is one of those 'Not Much More You Can Say' Psalms. Whether it was written by Asaph or not is uncertain; it's not even known whether it was prophecy or a prayer, seeing how it is no doubt the description of the tearing down of Jerusalem and the Temple by the Chaldeans. Here is the thing we need to understand about all of that, that there is consequence for sin and refusing to follow God's instructions. Jesus said, "Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me; for of such is the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 19:14) The general idea is that of growing up in the Lord, because we are to remain as a child in need of instruction and guidance by our Heavenly Father. Basically that's where the children of Israel went off the path, when they stopped acting like the children of God. If you are a child of God, then you should be acting like a child of God. If you have been forgiven of your sins, then you should understand forgiveness, by wanting to forgive others as you have been forgiven. Oh, I have not left off with that subject yet; mostly because I believe it's a subject that continues to move under the surface in our lives, as well as the lives of these children of Israel. Here is the way I see things playing out, and please forgive me if you might have some other version of what unforgiveness might look like. Since there are consequence for the sins we commit, those consequences come with repercussions, repercussions can occur long after the actual sin has been put to rest; or least you might think that the sin has been put to rest, because it really never dies, or stop creeping through generations and generations. That's not to say there cannot be forgiveness, because there is most assuredly is; but forgiveness happens on a personal level between us and God. As far as God is concerned, if we have been covered by the blood of His Son, we are sinless in His sight; but sin still lingers here on this earth, just as death still is a factor in these bodies. Sure we have eternal life, but that is eternal life in our spiritual life, because this body will not inherit eternal life, it is corrupt. The way I see it, forgiveness must include the harm that has been done; and the only way we can forgive the harm, is by accepting the harm as good...
"You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls. This salvation was something even the prophets wanted to know more about when they prophesied about this glorious salvation prepared for you. They wondered what time or situation the Spirit of Christ within them was talking about when he told them in advance about Christ's suffering and his great glory afterward. They were told that their messages were not for themselves, but for you. And now this Good News has been announced to you by those who preached in the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. It is all so wonderful that even the angels are eagerly watching these things happen." (1 Peter 1:8-12) NLT
