Bible Scripture Reading for Thursday 21 July 2011

"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 21 July 2011"

Today's Blog Title: "Honoring the Reign of God"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 97:1-12
Today's Key Verse: Psalm 97:11,12 "Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.  Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name."

Psalm 97 is one of the series of royal psalms (93-99).  This psalm has a apocalyptic tone in its speaking of God's final judgment on the wicked before He establishes His great kingdom. 

God reigns over creation.  The heavens display His awesome power.  Idolaters are put to shame, but God's people rejoice.  The response  of the godly to the reign of God is to hate evil, rejoice in the Lord and offer Him praise.

This psalm has 5 parts: (1) a call for the praise of God the King (verse 1); (2) a vision of the upcoming judgment of the wicked (verses 2-6); (3) a prophetic statement about the end of idolatry (verses 7-9); (4) a promise of great joy for the righteous (verses 10,11); (5) a call for the praise of God the King (verse 12). 

Today's Hymn: "Lord I'm Coming Home" (verse 2)

I've wasted many precious years, now I'm coming home;
I now repent with bitter tears, Lord, I'm coming home
Coming home, coming home, nevermore to roam,
Open up Thine arms of love, Lord, I'm coming home.

Abba Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, thank you Holy Spirit for your indwelling power in our lives.  Help us to rejoice and sing continued songs of joy to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Wrap us up Lord, in your arms of love, never more to roam.
                                                                                                                Amen

Today's Biblical Truth: "The earth as a whole and it's smallest parts, the isles, join together in rejoicing at the prospect of God's reign on earth"
