Psalm 65 - God at Work in His World

The psalms show us God\'s people longing to return to the house of God, to His dwelling place. At the start of the world there was an overlap of God\'s dwelling (heaven) with humanity\'s (earth) in Eden. This was lost because of mankind\'s rebellion. The temple for Israel was a picture of this, where God\'s dwelling would overlap with humanity\'s. Israel also lost their home and access to the temple because of their own rebellion. Psalm 65 shows us a virtual return to God\'s house and reminds us that God has not given up on His creation. He is still very much at work in His world, bringing healing and reconciliation to the land and to the people. One day, His home will overlap again with man\'s.
