Psalms 81

Aug 4, 2025    Pastor Manning

Psalm 81 is a powerful testament to God’s unparalleled grace—grace that is persistent, patient, and generous beyond measure. Even when His people forget Him, chase after idols, and close their ears to His voice, God continues to call them back with open arms. He reminds them of His past deliverance, His sustaining power, and the blessings that still await if they would only listen and return. This is grace that does not give up—it reaches out, it waits, and it woos. God’s offer to “satisfy them with the finest of wheat and with honey from the rock” (v. 16) is not based on merit but on His mercy. Psalm 81 paints a picture of a God who longs to give, who grieves when we turn away, and who always leaves the door open for restoration. That is unparalleled grace—undeserved, unwavering, and overflowing with love.
