Bible in a Year… Day 24 (Psalm 9-11)

It’s Psalm Tuesday again… today we’re in chapters 9-11.

Today’s notes:

Psalm 9:1-2 (NIV)
1I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart;
    I will tell of all your wonders.

2I will be glad and rejoice in you;
    I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

This Psalm of David pretty clearly expresses the response of those who truly love God… praise and proclamation.

If God has done wonders in our lives how can we offer anything else? Isn’t it natural to offer praises of thanks and worship in response? Isn’t it natural to want to tell others about the great things He has done?

What does it say about our level of faith and commitment to Christ when we fail to offer these kinds of worship?

Psalm 9:9-10 (NIV)
9The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed,
    a stronghold in times of trouble.

10Those who know your name will trust in you,
    for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.

The Psalms are full of wonderful promises and reassurances of God’s love and faithfulness. This is another gem for us to hold on to when difficult times come our way.

    Don’t you just love the Psalms…

    “I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart;
    I will tell of all your wonders.”

    John, I think it is natural to offer Praise and Worship. I think we do it all day long. It just may not be to God…

    Why is it when our favorite football team beats another, we can cheer and tell everyone that will listen, about our excitement.

    But, when we come to the realization that we have a creator, and he loves us, and died on a tree, so that we can have life…we keep it to ourselves? Makes me think about my priorities…very convicting…Thanks John.
