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

Posted on November 27, 2023 by Deborah H. Bateman

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.

Daily Bible Reading “Praise the Father, Praise the Son” (Psalm 111:1-10)

Posted on October 30, 2023 by Deborah H. Bateman

Praise the Father, Praise the Son

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 111:1-10. The Psalmist declares he’ll praise the LORD in the congregation. He professes the works of the LORD are great, honorable, and glorious. The righteousness of the LORD endures forever. God made His wonderful works to be remembered.

How can we step outside, look at the sky, the sun, the moon, the grass, the trees, the ocean, the mountains, the birds, and every living creature and not remember the works of the LORD? His creation is all around us. It’s beautiful and majestic.

The LORD is gracious and compassionate. God made a covenant with His people and He will stand by that covenant forever. He sent redemption to the world through His Son, Jesus Christ.

I love verse ten, which says, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.” What does it mean to fear the LORD? Perhaps it means to respect, show reverence toward Him, and be in awe of Him. He is holy and worthy to be praised.

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 111:1-10

1 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
2 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

Things to think about:

When you look around at God’s creation what are you most in awe of?
What was God’s covenant to His people?
What does the Scripture say is the beginning of wisdom?
In what ways do you consider yourself to be wise?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 111 where the Psalmist reminds us of how awesome You are. He reminds us of Your wondrous works and Your gift of salvation to man. Help us to revere You and stand in awe of Your creation and Your wondrous works. Help us to love You for who You are and not only for what You do for us. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Sing to the LORD a New Song” (Psalm 96:1-13)

Posted on October 1, 2023 by Deborah H. Bateman

Sing to the LORD a New Song

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 96:1-13. In Psalm 96 the Psalmist reminds us to sing to the LORD a new song. He cries out for the whole earth to sing to the LORD and bless His name. We need to show His salvation daily by singing and praising Him and by declaring His glory and wonders to all people.

The Psalmist declares that the LORD is great and worthy to be praised. God should be feared above all the gods or idols. Many people worshiped idols made of bronze. We may have things in our lives today that would be considered idols. They might not be statues made of bronze, but there may be other things that we put in the place of God.

We should not let anything or anybody come between us and God. He is mighty. He is the creator of the whole world. We are encouraged to declare His honor, majesty, strength, and beauty. The Psalmist reminds us to give glory and strength to the LORD. He is worthy to be praised and honored. He is a holy, just God, who will judge the whole earth with His righteousness and truth.

The Psalmist even cries out for the heaven and earth to rejoice, and the seas to roar. He says to let the field and all the animals of the field rejoice. He tells the trees to rejoice at His holy name. If the birds can sing His praises, the waves roar, and the leaves of the trees declare His glory, how much more should we, as human beings, declare His glory? He is our coming King. He is coming to judge the world with righteousness and truth. Let the whole world praise and glorify His holy name.

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 96:1-13

1 O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
2 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
4 For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
8 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
10 Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
13 Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.

Things to think about:

Do you like to sing to the LORD? If so, what is your favorite song to sing to Him? If not, what are some other ways you like to praise His name?
What are some of the words the Psalmist uses in this Scripture to describe the LORD?
How does it make you feel when he says even the earth, seas, heavens, and fields will rejoice in the LORD?
Do you look forward to the LORD’S return? If so, in what ways can we prepare for His return?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 96, where the Psalmist reminds us to sing praises to Your holy name. He declares Your holiness, righteousness, majesty, strength, and glory. Help us to acknowledge all Your attributes. Help us to worship You in spirit and truth. Help us to look forward to Your return. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “I will Praise the Name of God” (Psalm 69:29-36)

Posted on July 30, 2023 by Deborah H. Bateman

I will Praise the Name of God

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 69:29-36. Earlier in the chapter, David was very sad and cried out to God to deliver him. Now, he is at a point of praising God. David says, “I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.” Have you noticed when you are going through a tough time, if you start to praise God it will lift your spirits?

David says that praising God will please the LORD more than if he had sacrificed an ox. Those who witness him praising God will be made glad also. When you praise God in spite of the storms in your life it is a witness to others. Not only will it encourage you, but it will encourage others as well. Make a choice to praise God no matter what the circumstances of life bring.

David proclaims, “Let everything in the heavens and earth praise God.” David declares that God will save Zion and will build it up again so His people can inherit it. David reminds us of the promises of God to His people.

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 69:29-36

29 But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31 This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
32 The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
33 For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

Things to think about:

Have you noticed how praising God lifts your spirit?
How often do you spend time praising God?
What are some things for which we can praise God?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 69. We see that even though David was in a time of much sorrow, he chose to praise You. Help us to follow his example and praise You in spite of our circumstances. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. – Psalm 69:30

Daily Bible Reading “Praise Waits for Thee” (Psalm 65:1-13)

Posted on July 18, 2023 by Deborah H. Bateman

Praise Waits for Thee

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 65:1-13. Psalm 65 is a Psalm of David, to the Chief Musician. David praises and worships God in silence. Have you ever praised and worshiped God in silence? David confesses his sin to God, and knows God will cleanse him from his sin. David realizes he is blessed to be chosen by God.

David then goes into an exhortation of the greatness of God. He even demonstrates how the earth rejoices at God’s marvelous work. He talks of God’s creation from the mountains to the sea and the meadows.

I love looking at the world which God created and we get to enjoy. My favorite place is the beach. I love the sound of the waves and looking at the vast horizon.

I love to walk outside and start thanking God for everything I see. Thank You for the flowers, thank You for the trees, thank You for the grass, thank You for the birds, on and on we can go.

I call this my Thank You Jesus prayer. Sometimes I do it with my youngest granddaughter. Sometimes when we are riding in the car we will sing songs and do our Thank You Jesus prayer. We’ll name everybody we know to thank Him for and then we thank Him for the flowers, trees, birds, house, car, everything we can think of to say thank You. God has truly blessed us and we have so much for which to be thankful.

When I look at the vastness of His creation, I stand in awe of His power and greatness. How great is God to be able to speak it all into existence. Take some time today to stop and think about the greatness of God and all He means to you. Think of all the things He has done for you. Think of everything and everybody He has placed in your life. You don’t even have to say anything. Just enjoy being in His presence and show your gratitude to God.

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 65:1-13

1 [[To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David.]] Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

Things to think about:

How does it make you feel to think of the greatness of God?
When you look at all God created how do you feel?
When you think about how much God loves you, how do you feel?
What are some ways we can show God we are grateful for who He is and all He has done?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 65. David praises You in silence. He is in awe of Your greatness and power. He talks about the beauty of Your creation. Help us to rever You and worship You in all Your glory, power and majesty. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
