Bible Scripture for Thursday 5 May 2011

'Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

Today's Blog Title: "Praise for God's Faithfulness"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 33:1-22
Today's Key Verse: Psalm 33:20-22  "Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield, For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name.  Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, Just as we hope in you."

This psalm is a psalm of descriptive praise.  The psalmist calls for spontaneous praise to God, the dependable Creator and shaper of history.  God has shown His loyalty to His people, and God's people hope joyfully in Him,

Praise is appropriate because: (1) God's Word is true (trustworthy), (2) He is Himself is faithful in all He does (3) He loves justice (4) Earth is filled with expressions of His love (5) He created all things (6) He sustains all things (7) He shapes history to accomplish His purposes (8) He chose Israel as His inheritance (9) He watches (pays close attention to) all humanity (10) He guards those who fear him (11) He believers from death all those who hope in Him.  With all that, how could we not praise such a wonderful God.

This psalm is an important one for people who are waiting.  We have not yet received what we yearn for.  But because we know God is dependable, we remain optimistic and are filled with joy.  We as believers always have hope.

This psalm has 4 parts: (1) A call for the righteous to praise God, in view of His righteous acts in creation (verses 1-7) (2) A call for the nations to praise God, in view of His sovereign work in creation (verses 8-12) (3) A call for the people to praise God, in view of His care of creation (verses 13-19) (4) A concluding affirmation of confidence in God (verses 20-22).

Today's Hymn: "Everlasting Father"

Everlasting Father, Ruling now in holiness above
Everlasting Father, Lord of truth and perfect love
Everlasting Father, All the angels bow before your throne
Everlasting Father, All creation worships you alone
We worship You, We worship You

We worship You, Almighty God

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit   How we as believers love to praise you and honor and glorify Your Holy Name.  Lord, You are dependable in Your word and works.  You are just and loyal in dealing with your children.  We thank you for the joyful hope that we have in You.
