Forty Years Long


Psalms 95:10 KJV
Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

I read these words and am fearful of grieving the Lord. He kept His grief forty full years. He abhorred that generation until every one of them had passed.

God is gracious and merciful but God is also just. Therefore a man must never expect that mercy of God until it has kissed the truth of righteousness through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

  • For forty years God watched them
  • For forty years God waited as they wasted away in death
  • For forty years God kept His sentence upon them

God made a promise that the Jews would return to the land He had given them. But for forty years He withheld His promise until He had executed His sentence.
