Psalm
95 – God is Great
God
invites us to “shout joyfully” and to “kneel before the Lord”. God is great! He
is a great Creator and a great King, and we are privileged to be His people.
God
is grieved when the opposite of a worshiping heart that pleases the Lord is a
hard heart that grieves the Lord. Imagine seeing God’s wonders and not
submitting gladly to Him! The unbelieving Jews paid a high price for their sin.
They died in the wilderness and never entered the Promised Land. (Heb 3-4).
Take
time to see the greatness of God and to praise Him. Give yourself to worship
and praise and you will inherit all that God has planned for you in this life. A
hard heart leads to a hard life, so keep your heart tender before God.
Psalm
96 – Sing, Give and Look to the Lord.
Sing
a new song when you have a new experience with Him. Sing a worship song because
God is glorious and great. Sing a gospel song because the nations need to hear
the good news of salvation. Sing a song of victory and reveal the strength of
the Lord. Sing a song of devotion and reveal the beauty of the Lord.
Give
Him glory with your lips and heart, and give Him offerings with your hands. God
does not need your gifts (Acts 17:24-25), but you need to bring your gifts to
God. He deserves the best.
Look
for the Lord. All nature is eagerly waiting for the Lord’s return, for then
creation will be set free (Rom 8:18-25). The oppressed people will be
vindicated, and sinners will be judged when Jesus Christ comes to reign, God’s
people shall reign with Christ and then worship Him perfectly.
Please
