"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 20 July 2011"
Today's Blog Title: "Praise from Nature and the Nations"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 96: 1-13
Today's Key Verse: Psalm 96:4-6 "For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the people are idols, But the Lord made the heavens. Honor and majesty are before Him; Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary."
Psalm 96 is a royal psalm and is part of the set that begins in Psalm 93. This psalm emphasizes world mission, specifically the prophetic fulfillment of the Abrahamic Covenant. The earth is invited to praise the Lord with a new song. All peoples and Creation itself will sing to God the great Creator when he comes to judge the earth.
God as our Creator has the moral right and responsibility to evaluate human actions and to mete out appropriate reward and punishment. The major passages in the New Testament which develop the doctrine of divine judgment include: John 3:19-21, 5:19-30, 8:15-16, 12:47-49; Romans 2:1-8; 1 Peter 4:5; Hebrews 10:30, 12:12, 13:4 and Revelation 20:12.
This psalm has four parts: (1) a call to praise God (verses 1-3); (2) a celebration of God the Creator (verses 4-6); (3) a celebration of God the King (verses 7-10); (4) a celebration of God the coming One (verses 11-13).
Today's Hymn: "Hallelujah" (written by me, a week after my salvation)
Seek it first the kingdom of God and His Righteousness
And all these shall be added unto you
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu-jah
Jesus was born in Bethlehem on a starry night
The angels proclaimed His royal birth
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu-jah
Jesus Christ the Son of God, who died on Calvary's cross
He gave His life that we might be free
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu-jah
On the third day my Jesus arose, conquering death and sin
He then ascended back to His throne,
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu-jah
One day He's coming to take me home, that He has prepared for me
And there I will spend all eternity
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu-jah
So dear friends please listen to me, Come to Jesus right now
He will save you from your sins
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu-jah
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, how wonderful it is to serve a Living and Faithful God. How thankful we are that You Abba Father never change your mind and You keep all promises that You make. How thankful we are that one day the message of God's salvation will be known to all people. May we as Christians spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to a desperate and sinful world.
Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "Our Almighty God will remain ruler for all eternity"
