Daily Bible Reading “All Nations Praise the LORD” (Psalm 116:10-19 – Psalm 117:1-2)

Posted on by

All Nations Praise the LORD

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 116:10-19 and Psalm 117:1-2. The Psalmist proclaims he believed in God and His mercy and questions what he should give to the LORD for all of His benefits to him. He says he will take the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD. He declares he will pay his vows to God in the presence of his people. What can we give to the LORD for all the benefits He has given us?

Because of all the affliction and attacks from his enemies, the Psalmist had come to believe that all men were liars. Have you ever wondered if this was true? The Psalmist found out that there was one he could trust completely and that was the LORD. He declared he was a servant of the LORD.

I love verse fifteen which says, “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.” Why do you think the Psalmist says this? Do you think the LORD looks forward to having His saints in heaven with Him?

The Psalmist says he will offer thanksgiving and praise the LORD in the midst of his people. I included Psalm 117 in this lesson as it is the shortest chapter with only two verses. Even though this chapter is short, the verses are powerful because the Psalmist cries out to all the nations to praise the LORD for His mercy and kindness. He also declares that the truth of the LORD endures forever.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 116:10-19

10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,
19 In the courts of the LORD’S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

Psalm 117:1-2

1 O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.

 

Things to think about:

  • What are some things for which we can praise the LORD?
  • What are some ways we can offer the sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD?
  • Who should praise the LORD?
  • What are some ways we can praise the LORD?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture where the Psalmist reminds us to praise You and offer the sacrifice of thanksgiving to You for all Your benefits. You have blessed us in so many ways, but the best blessing of all was Your gift of salvation. Help us to be grateful and thankful for Your mercy and kindness to us. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “I Love the LORD” (Psalm 116:1-9)

Posted on by

I Love the LORD

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 116:1-9. The Psalmist declares his love for the LORD because God hears and answers his prayers. He proclaims that he will call on the name of the LORD as long as he lives because the LORD listens to him. He cried out to the LORD to deliver his soul. Do you spend time daily praying to the LORD?

The LORD is gracious, merciful, and righteous. The LORD preserves the simple. The Psalmist says he was brought low and the LORD helped him. Have you ever been humbled?

He says the LORD has delivered his soul from death, his eyes from tears, and his feet from falling. The Psalmist declares his soul can rest because the LORD has dealt with him favorably. He declares he will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 116:1-9

1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

 

Things to think about:

  • In what ways do you show your love for the LORD?
  • How many times has the LORD heard and answered your prayers?
  • What are some of the prayers that God has answered that stand out in your mind?
  • Have you ever been to the point of death like the Psalmist and the LORD delivered you? If so, take time to praise Him for His deliverance. If not, thank Him for your health.

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 116 where the Psalmist declares his love for You. He reminds us that You hear and answer our prayers. He also reminds us of Your mercy, grace, and righteousness. Help us to come to You in prayer with our cares and concerns. Help us to honor You for Your love and mercy toward us. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Bless the LORD” (Psalm 115:1-18)

Posted on by

Bless the LORD

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 115:1-18. In Psalm 115 the Psalmist gives glory to the LORD for His mercy and truth. He asks, why the heathen say, “Where is their God now?” Have you ever been asked that question? Well, this is the perfect answer for the question from verse three, “Our God is in the heavens: He has done whatever He has pleased.” God is in the same place He has been forever.

The Psalmist goes on to talk about the idols of the heathen. He tells us their idols are made by man’s hands from silver and gold. They have mouths, but can’t speak: eyes, but can’t see. They have ears, but can’t hear: they have noses, but can’t smell. They have hands that can’t hold anything, feet that can’t walk; neither can they speak from their throats. Those that make them and trust in them are the same.

Then, the Psalmist calls out to Israel, the house of Aaron, and those who fear the LORD to trust in the LORD, because He is their help and shield. He reminds us that the LORD is mindful of us and will bless us and our children.

The Psalmist declares that those who believe in the LORD, the creator of the heavens and the earth, will be blessed and we will bless and praise the holy name of the LORD forever.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 115:1-18

1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.
2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
12 The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.

 

Things to think about:

  • What does this Scripture say about the idols of the heathen?
  • In what ways do you trust in the LORD?
  • What does the Scripture say about those who trust in the LORD?
  • How do you praise and worship the LORD?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 115 where the Psalmist warns us about man-made idols of silver and gold. He reminds us that You bless those who trust in You. Help us to always put our trust in You and never worship any other god. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “The Earth Trembles at the Presence of the Lord” (Psalm 114:1-8)

Posted on by

The Earth Trembles at the Presence of the Lord

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 114:1-8. In Psalm 114 the Psalmist reminds us of God’s power and how He delivered the children of Israel out of Egypt (Exodus 6). From what has God delivered you? The Psalmist reminds us that the land of Judah was God’s sanctuary and Israel His dominion. He parted the sea and the Jordan River was driven back (Joshua 3).

God created the world and everything in it and the earth obeys His voice. Everything God created obeys His voice except for fallen man, to whom He gave a free will. How can we not choose to love, obey, honor, and serve Him? Do you find it hard to understand why some people would not choose a loving, caring God, but would rather live in sin?

He speaks and the earth trembles at His voice. He even caused water to flow from a rock creating a pool and a flowing fountain. Yet, some people find it hard to believe. Do you believe?

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 114:1-8

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

 

Things to think about:

  • How does it make you feel when you look at God’s creation?
  • Have you considered the awesome power of God?
  • In what ways have you chosen to listen to God’s voice?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 114 where the Psalmist reminds us of Your awesome power. He reminds us that even the earth trembles at Your voice. We thank You for Your creation. Help us to listen for Your voice. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;– Psalm 114:7

Daily Bible Reading “Praise the Name of the LORD” (Psalm 113:1-9)

Posted on by

Praise the Name of the LORD

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 113:1-9. The Psalmist starts Psalm 113 by giving a call to praise the LORD and bless His name from this time forth. He reminds us from the rising of the sun until its setting we are to praise the LORD. He is high and mighty. He is above all nations and His glory is above the heavens. He overlooks all things both in heaven and on the earth. He lifts up the poor and needy and allows them to sit with the princes of His people.

I love verse nine, which says, “He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.” I wish I would have known this verse when I was younger. It would’ve been a great promise for me to hold on to.

I went through a time in my life when I wasn’t able to have children. I had two miscarriages before finally having our two daughters. We were married over eight years when we had our first child. I am so thankful to God for His blessings on me and my husband to be able to have children and to be grandparents now. What can you praise God for in your life?

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 113:1-9

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’S name is to be praised.
4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,
6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.

 

Things to think about:

  • When does this Scripture say we should praise the LORD?
  • Why should we praise the LORD?
  • What does this Scripture say God does for the poor and needy?
  • What does this Scripture say God does for the barren woman?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 113 where the Psalmist reminds us to praise You. We are reminded to praise You for who You are and for what You do for us. Help us to always be thankful and praise You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
