Psalm 98 is another of the “royal songs” about Yahweh, the King (6). Its stanzas can be divided into past (1-3), present (4-6) and future (7-9) aspects. This song encourages me to get excited about a future event – the coming of the LORD to judge the earth (9). It calls me right now to… Read More »
To me, the truth that comforts and encourages me the most during this COVID-19 pandemic is “the LORD reigns!” Truly that is something the entire earth should be glad about and rejoice in (1). If the virus was some rogue substance out from under God’s control, we would all need to worry. But since there… Read More »
Sometimes I wish I could write “a new song,” but since I can’t I will be content to join “all the earth” in singing one (1). This new song would bless Yahweh’s name and “tell of his salvation day to day” (2). This song would “declare his glory among the nations” and tell of his… Read More »
I think anyone would rightly question a person’s sanity if they witnessed that person singing to a rock. I know the stay-at-home order has driven some people “stir crazy” as they say, but singing to a rock? Well, that’s what God’s people are called to do in Psalm 95. In fact, this psalm starts out… Read More »
A.W. Tozer wrote: “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” He wrote that in the context of some thoughts on worship and whether “the worshiper entertains high or low thoughts of God.” In Psalm 94, we read some very “high” thoughts of God. It’s easy… Read More »
I am always amazed at how fitting my daily Bible readings are to current events. This is so true of Psalm 93 & the current COVID-19 pandemic. This psalm reassures me of God’s sovereignty – Yahweh reigns, clothed in majesty & strength (1a). His throne is the world he established long ago (1b-2a). God is… Read More »
Psalm 92 was written & sung “for the Sabbath,” which means rest. So this psalm is very fitting during our stay-at-home time. Am I really resting today in all that God is for me in Jesus Christ? The Jean S. Pigott wrote: “Jesus, I am resting, resting in the joy of what Thou art; I… Read More »
“Waymaker, miracle-worker, promise keeper, that is who You are” are the words to a song I just heard this morning. Here in Psalm 91 are many promises God made to his people under the old covenant. That’s an important distinction to make here because of the promise of protection from “the pestilence that stalks in… Read More »
Psalm 90 is extremely timely in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic in which thousands of people have died worldwide and more are yet to die. (This is on top of the yearly flu that has already killed many more.) Someday I will die and so will everyone reading this blog. Unless the Lord Jesus… Read More »
I wonder if “Ethan the Ezrahite” had a conversation with “Heman the Ezrahite” (Psalm 88) about writing songs that were more positive & uplifting, because truly Psalm 89 is just that. Ethan begins by declaring that he WILL sing of the steadfast love of Yahweh forever and WILL make known His faithfulness to all generations… Read More »
