"God, Let us not forget your works. . . Help us feel your shepherding hand." Psalm 78 is a MASSIVE history, retelling the Exodus but in an interesting form of cycles, and ending at the place of Zion and God's loving presence. This is an important practice of communal memory but also sets us up for the coming emotional (and theological) conflict of what it means to be "chosen" by God. This Psalm also helps us explore what it means to be "Shepherded."
