Gather the people
RE Verse reading–Psalm 95 (day seven) “COME, let us sing for joy to the Lord” (vs 1) It is spiritual work to gather the people of God. No voice rings truer the love of Heaven than the one that invites/calls/encourages/reminds people of the power and blessing of worship. People get distracted and ”dis integrated”. Overwhelmed and stressed. If [...]

RE Verse reading–Psalm 95 (day six) “Come, let us worship and bow down. . .your fathers tested me. . . ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ “ (vs 6, 9, 11) The first sentences of Psalm 95 (vs 1-7) call us to sing, to worship, to bow down.

Why worship?
Re: Verse reading–Psalm 95 (day one)
“Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.” (vs 1) It is a “call to worship”. A song that gathers/invites people for the purpose of praise. Everyone has to be encouraged at times. Worship is a choice not a feeling. So [...]

Dwelling and resting
Re: Verse reading–Psalm 91 (day six) “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty” (vs 1) “Prone to wander, Lord I feel it.” says a familiar hymn. (Come Thou Fount) Sorry to say it, but the author is not alone. I feel the irritating tendency [...]

“If you make the Most High your dwelling. . .no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.” (vs 9-10) David talks to himself. It is one of the secrets of his spiritual life. In vs 2 of Psalm 91, he says what he is GOING TO SAY to [...]

Are we paranoid?
Re: Verse reading–Psalm 69 (day seven)
“Those who hate me without reason outnumber the hairs of my head.” (vs 4) Are Christians paranoid? Do we imagine the hostility of the world? Make it worse than it really is? Are we just “whiners” believing media and government to be biased against us? Not always. No. The long testimony of history [...]
Why wait?
Re: Verse reading–Psalm 69 (day six)
“I am worn out calling for help. My throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for God.” (vs 3) David is in trouble. Surrounded by enemies. Falsely accused. What does he do? He prays and waits. Why? It isn’t because prayer brings him quick relief. David reports crying out until his [...]
