Psalm 78 exposes a repeated cycle where God acts, people forget, sin persists, and yet God responds with compassion—revealing that our deepest problem isn’t our circumstances but our unchanged hearts. Even discipline, miracles, and God’s gifts cannot break the cycle when the heart remains the same, leading to spiritual drift and faith passed on without transformation. The hope Psalm 78 points toward is fulfilled in Jesus, the true Exodus and presence of God, who rescues us and gives us new hearts by His Spirit, changing not just us but generations to come.
