Daily Bible Reading “Rejoice in the LORD” (Psalm 33:1-22)

Posted on by

Rejoice in the LORD

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 33:1-22. The psalmist reminds us the righteous should rejoice in the LORD. We can praise the LORD through playing instruments and singing songs of praise and worship. In what ways do you like to praise the LORD?

He reminds us that the word of the LORD is right, and all His works are done in truth. He loves righteousness and judgment. You may wonder how the LORD can be both righteous and our judge. It seems like opposite ends of the spectrum. But He is both our righteous LORD and our judge. He loves us, but He will also judge us.

This reminds me of being a parent. We love our children and want the best for them, but when they do wrong, it is our job as parents to punish them for their behavior. We are the ones who have to determine what good, acceptable behavior is and what is not. We are the ones who have to decide what the punishment will be for bad behavior.

I love verse 6 where the psalmist talks about the world being created by the word of the LORD. If you read Genesis chapter one you’ll see where it says, “He spoke” and it was. God spoke this world into existence. All He had to do is say what He wanted to create and it was done. How powerful is it to be able to speak things into existence?

The psalmist says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.” As a nation, it is important for us to serve God. We need His blessings on our nation as well as on our individual lives.

The Scripture says God looks down from heaven and sees us. He watches over us, protects us, leads, guides, and directs our lives. We should rejoice in the LORD, because we trust in Him.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 33:1-22

1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.

 

Things to think about:

  • When you look at this world God created, what are some of the things that cause you to be in awe of Him?
  • When you think about how much God loves us, how do you show your gratitude to Him?
  • How do you praise and worship God for all He has done for you?
  • What makes you think of God as your protector and your guide?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture in the book of Psalms where we’re reminded to rejoice in You. We thank You for this world You created for us to live in. You are all-powerful and we can see this when we look at Your creation. We praise You that You are in heaven looking over us. Help us to always be grateful and thankful to You. Help us to praise and worship You forever. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Shout For Joy” (Psalm 32:1-11)

Posted on by

Shout For Joy

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 32:1-11. Psalm 31 is a Psalm of David. David starts by saying, “Blessed are those whose sins are forgiven.” If you’re a Christian, one who has accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you are blessed because your sin is covered by His blood.

If you confess your sin to God and ask for His forgiveness, He will forgive you. We need to pray to God while He can be found. Isaiah 55:6 tells us, “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.”

David says the LORD is his hiding place. He watches over us and protects us. He keeps us from trouble. He will instruct us and teach us. He will lead, guide, and direct us in the way we should go.

David tells us not to be like a horse or a mule that doesn’t understand, and must be led around with a bridle. Wicked people have many sorrows, but those who trust in the LORD, the righteous, are surrounded with mercy. David exhorts the righteous to be glad in the LORD and shout for JOY.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 32:1-11

1 [[[A Psalm] of David, Maschil.]] Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

 

Things to think about:

  • Have you asked God to forgive you of your sins? Recall the time.
  • Do you consider the LORD to be your hiding place? If so, when are you most likely to turn to Him as your refuge?
  • In what ways do you depend on the LORD to lead, guide and direct in your life?
  • How do you find happiness and joy in the LORD?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Psalm of David as he reflects on You and Your goodness to him. Remind us of Your goodness to us and to be glad and shout for joy. We are so thankful, and praise You for Your goodness to us. We love You, LORD. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Happy Mother’s Day” (Proverbs 31:10, 28)

Posted on by

Happy Mother’s Day

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is Proverbs 31:10, “Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. Proverbs 31:28 says, “Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.” I thought these verses were appropriate for Mother’s Day since it is a day to show honor and appreciation to our mothers for who they are and all they have done for us.

One of the greatest gifts that God gave us, besides the gift of salvation through His Son, is the gift of life and love through our mothers.

Mother’s Day is supposed to be a day of celebration, but for many people, it is a day of remembrance, a day of sadness. As you celebrate Mother’s Day with your family be sensitive to those whose mothers are no longer with them.

Mother’s Day may also be a time of grief for those who have lost children or those who want to have children but haven’t been blessed in that way.

There may be those who are estranged from their children or mothers for one reason or another and so Mother’s Day is sad for them.

Celebrate your mother and enjoy your family, but understand that days like Mother’s Day are hard for some people. Be gentle with them.

My emotions run from one extreme to the other on Mother’s Day and the days surrounding Mother’s Day. Missing my Mama, mother-in-law, and grandmothers are really hard for me since they have all passed away already.

Then there are the feelings of being really blessed to be married to the man God blessed me with as my husband, who loves me unconditionally. We are blessed to have two beautiful daughters, whom we love dearly.

We wondered if we would ever have children. For many years Mother’s Day was hard for me because I wanted children so badly, but had not been blessed with them yet.

We were married eight years and had two miscarriages before we finally had our girls. We are also blessed to have six precious grandchildren who are all special in their own way.

If you were not blessed to be raised in a Christian home with a mother who loved you unconditionally, you can know this kind of love through the unconditional, sacrificial love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

All things considered, Mother’s Day is a good day to celebrate through all the laughter and tears. I am thankful for all the people God placed in my life to mold me and make me into the person I am today. I hope it’s a good day for you and your family. I wish you all a Happy Mother’s Day. I love you. May God bless you!

 

Things to think about:

  • What is your best childhood memory of your mother?
  • What is one word that you would use to describe your mother?
  • What is the most important thing that your mother taught you?
  • What are you most grateful for concerning your mother?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for this day to honor the mothers in our lives. Help us to show our love and gratitude for our mothers. Comfort those who have lost their mothers with sweet memories today. We also ask that you comfort those who wish to be mothers, but haven’t been blessed with children yet. Thank you for the gift of children and grandchildren. Thank you for our mothers. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Be of Good Courage” (Psalm 31:1-24)

Posted on by

Be of Good Courage

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 31:1-24. Psalm 31 is a Psalm of David to the Chief Musician. David proclaims that he trusts in the LORD. Who or in what do you put your trust? David asks God to deliver him and not let him be ashamed. What makes you feel ashamed? How does shame change the way you act?

David asks God to hear his prayer and deliver him from the enemy. David says God is his rock, his fortress, and his strength. He asks the LORD to lead and guide him.

David cries out to the LORD for mercy. David was in trouble. He was grieved over his situation. David says he was a disgrace to his enemies, and especially his neighbors. David’s enemies were looking for ways to destroy him. He declares that he was like a broken vessel. Have you ever felt broken?

David praises the LORD for having mercy on him. He is grateful to God for protecting him from the enemy. David had many enemies. Many times he was running and hiding out in caves to keep from being killed. David’s enemies were physical. We can also be pursued by the enemy himself, the devil, who goes about seeking to destroy us. He may come against you physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. He may attack your family, your finances, or anything else he can and try to destroy your testimony. David calls on the LORD to protect him from his enemies, and we can also call on the LORD to defend us against the enemy.

David reminds us that we can trust in the LORD to take care of those of us who are faithful. My favorite verse in this Scripture is Psalm 31:24 which says, “Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.” Do you have hope in the LORD?

Many of David’s Psalms begin with the troubles that he is facing, but by the end of the Psalm he acknowledges God. David begins this Psalm by begging God to deliver him from his enemies, but by the end of the Psalm he is reminding us of God’s goodness toward His children.

How many times do we, like David, begin our prayers with our troubles, only to be reminded by the Spirit of God and His wonderful power to save us?

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 31:1-24

1 [[To the Chief Musician, A Psalm of David.]] In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.
4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.
5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.
9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
11 I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
13 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
14 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.
15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake.
17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
23 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.

 

Things to think about:

  • In what ways do you express your trust in God?
  • In what ways do you consider God to be your rock and fortress?
  • In what ways has God protected you and given you strength against the enemy?
  • David seems desperate at the beginning of this Scripture, but what is his attitude by the end?
  • David trusted God to deliver him from his enemies. What are you trusting God for today?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture in the book of Psalms. You are our rock and our fortress. You give us strength and protect us from the enemy. You are merciful and forgiving. Even though we fail You, You love and care for us. Help us to have courage Help us to always be grateful and praise You for Your goodness. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Give God Glory” (Psalm 29:1-11)

Posted on by

Give God Glory

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 29:1-11. Psalm 29 is a Psalm of David. In Psalm 29 David gives a description of a storm. We all go through different storms in our lives. David starts by giving glory to the LORD. He realizes the LORD’S strength is greater than any storm we may face in life. David honors the Lord by reminding us to worship the LORD. Why does David worship and praise the LORD in the midst of the storm?

Have you ever been in the midst of a thunderstorm where the thunder was so loud it felt like it shook the earth? Think about some of the lightning that you have witnessed where it looked like it shot all the way to the ground. Many times lightning has caused fires. This is the kind of storm that David is talking about. He describes all these things as the LORD’S voice.

David talks about the strength of the LORD’S voice. The voice of the LORD is powerful and majestic. This is a severe storm. There is thunder, and lightning. The winds are so strong it breaks the cedars. Obviously, the lightening causes fires to break out, because David says, “The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.” The voice of the LORD shook the wilderness. It caused the cattle to give birth.

Notice how David says, “In his temple doth every one speak of his glory.” Have you ever noticed how in times of trouble people turn to God? We should not have to wait until there is a storm of life or a tragedy to worship God. He wants us to have a relationship with Him all the time, not just when we are in trouble.

Even during the storms of our lives and when tragic things happen to us, there are good things that come out of these situations. Many sad and tragic things happen in this world. There may be lives lost and families affected by the loss. In the midst of troubled times, we need to pull together and support one another. God can take things that the enemy meant for evil and make good come out of it. Many times tragic events cause us to fall to our knees and worship God.

God doesn’t always make the storm go away, but He will carry us through. He will comfort those who are going through the storms of life. He will provide for those who go through the storm. Even during the tough times of our lives, we have to remember that God is in control. If you don’t know about the grace of God through having Jesus Christ as your Savior, why not ask Him into your life today? He will help you get through the storms of life.

As we mourn the losses in our lives, let’s pull together and pray for one another. Instead of letting the tragedies of life scar us for the rest of our lives, let’s somehow find the good that comes out of it. Let’s ask God how He would like us to use these events in our lives to help others. Everything happens for a reason, even though we don’t know or understand why sometimes. Let’s stand together, pray and give God the glory for one another. May God bless you!

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalms 29:1-11

1 [[A Psalm of David.]] Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.
7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.
8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.
10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.
11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.

 

Things to think about:

  • In this Scripture what does David encourage us to do?
  • What are some of the things David says the voice of the LORD does?
  • How has God helped you through the storms of your life?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 29. We thank You that in this Scripture we see where David praised and worshiped You in the midst of the storm. We all go through storms in our lives. Help us to worship and praise You in the midst of those storms as David did. Help us to find the good that came out of the tragic events of our lives. Help us to give You glory for the good that came from these storms of our lives. Comfort those who have experienced loss during this time. Help us to honor and worship You in our lives. In Jesus’ name, we pray. We love You, LORD. Amen.

The book of Psalms was written by various people. About half of it was attributed to King David, whether they were written by David or for David is questioned by some biblical scholars. Some of the Psalms were written by Asaph and some say they were written for the sons of Korah and even Moses and Solomon were writers of the Psalms. The Psalms consists of poetry that was primarily meant to be used as songs of praise to the Lord.

The Book of Psalms Part 1 Chapters 1-30 contains thirty-one Daily Bible Reading Lessons. Each lesson contains a brief commentary by the author, the Daily Bible Reading Scriptures, a few questions for contemplation or discussion, and a prayer of the day. It is a great Bible study for individuals or groups.
