The Holy One of Israel is Our King

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 89:10-21. In this portion of Psalm 89, the Psalmist talks about Rahab, which is another name for Egypt, saying God has broken it into pieces and has scattered His enemies. The Psalmist acknowledges God as the creator of the heavens and the earth.

The Psalmist proclaims that God is a God of strength, mercy, and truth. As the supreme judge both justice and judgment are the foundation of His throne. He declares those who trust in the LORD walk in the light of His face and rejoice in His holy name. They are exalted in God’s righteousness, favor, and the glory of His strength. He states that the LORD God of Israel is their defense and king. He reminds the people how God chose David, His servant and anointed him with His strength to be king.

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 89:10-21

10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
11 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
12 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
18 For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.

Things to think about:

When you think of God, do you think of Him as being strong?
How is God your defender?
In what ways do you rejoice in God?

We thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 89 where the Psalmist reminds us You are our defense, our strength, and our King. It is through Your mercy, grace, and favor that we are exalted. Help us to rejoice in Your holy name. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Delight in the LORD

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 37:1-10. Psalm 37 is a Psalm of David. David reminds us not to get frustrated, aggravated or envious of evil doers. They will be cut down and wither away like the grass. They may seem to prosper, but their evil ways will catch up with them. Are there things in your life that make you so enraged that you almost can’t control your actions? What can we do, as believers, to combat this attitude?

Instead, David exhorts us to trust in the LORD, and do good and He will give us the desires of our hearts. He will change the desires of our hearts to line up with His desires. We are reminded to delight ourselves in the LORD, and trust in Him. When we delight ourselves in the LORD, our attitude will change. When we commit our ways to the LORD, He will bless us.

When we commit our ways to the LORD, He will bless us. – Deborah H. Bateman

David tells us to rest in the LORD and wait patiently; we will get our just reward. Do you find it hard sometimes to wait patiently on the LORD?

We need to avoid being angry and keep ourselves from expressing our wrath. We shouldn’t let our passions cause us to do evil things. Evil doers will be cut off, but those who wait on the LORD will inherit the earth. The wicked will be destroyed, but those who put their trust and faith in the LORD will be rewarded.

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 37:1-10

1 [[[A Psalm] of David.]] Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

Things to think about:

In what ways do you trust in the LORD?
In what ways do you delight in the LORD?
How have you committed your life to the LORD?
How do you find rest in the LORD?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture in this Psalm of David. Through this Scripture we see if we follow God and commit ourselves to You our lives will be blessed. Help us to stay away from evil and to trust our lives to You. Help us to delight in You and allow You to change our hearts and our lives. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Verse:

Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. – Psalm 37:4
