Psalms 81 is a short, concise summary of God’s heart for his policy: love and bless but judge harshly. It is always God’s intent that we be safe, secure, loved, and protected by him. He wants to give us blessings. However, if we are stubborn hearted or turn away from him through idols, worldly pleasures, or following our own heart instead of his, he must judge or he is not righteous. He is quick to forgive and welcome us back in, so Choose life!
