Daily Bible Reading “Glorify Thy Name” (Psalm 50:16-23)

Glorify Thy Name

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 50:16-23. In this Bible study lesson, we will study the Scripture in the second half of Psalm 50. In the first part of Psalm 50 we saw the promise that God will return, and it was mostly addressed to believers. This portion of the Scripture talks to unbelievers.

God says the wicked hate instruction. They steal, lie, and slander other people, and many other things. He addresses them saying they thought He would be silent and leave them to their destructive ways, but He reminds them that He will judge them for their wicked ways and unbelief.

He declares that those who offer praise glorify Him. He says those whose conversation is right will see the salvation of God. Have you received the salvation of God through His Son, Jesus Christ?

In this world there are both wicked people and those who believe in God. As you read the Bible you will discover how God honors His people by showing favor to them and how He punishes the wicked for their evil ways. We all have a choice to make whether we choose to follow God or reject Him. He doesn’t force His salvation on anyone; He gives us the freedom to choose Him. It’s not His will that any should perish, but He gives us a free will. Have you chosen to follow God? This is the most important choice you will make in your life. The choice you make will determine where you spend eternity.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 50:16-23

16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.
21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

 

Things to think about:

  • As you read this Scripture, where are you in the decision-making process?
  • Are you described as one of the wicked ones or as one who praises and glorifies God?
  • How can we help others to see the light?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 50. We see that You will judge both the wicked and believers. Help us to honor You with our lives. Forgive us of our sins and help us to praise and glorify You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Our God Shall Come” (Psalm 50:1-15)

Our God Shall Come

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 50:1-15. Psalm 50 is a Psalm of Asaph, who was one of the worship leaders in the temple. God is calling everyone on the earth to gather together before Him so He can judge His people. Are you ready for that call?

He is coming back and when He does, He will judge both the living and the dead. He will gather those together who have made a covenant with Him. The heavens will declare His righteousness. God is a righteous judge. He knows everything about us. He knows the thoughts and intentions of our hearts.

“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all” (Isaiah 53:6).

God says He will not take any of our sacrifices, such as the animals that were sacrificed in the Old Testament. God reminds us that all the animals of the earth belong to Him anyway. God knows the animals like He knows us. God says even if He was hungry He wouldn’t tell us. Everything in this world belongs to God, He created it.

God reminds us to offer thanksgiving to Him. What God wants from us is praise and thanksgiving. God wants us to pay our vows to Him. God wants us to call on Him in the time of trouble. He will deliver us and we will glorify Him.

Do you call on God when you’re in trouble? Some people fast (go without food) and pray for God to deliver them. Have you ever wanted God’s favor in a situation bad enough to fast and pray for it?

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 50:1-15

1 [[A Psalm of Asaph.]] The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.
7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.
8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

 

Things to think about:

  • Are you ready for the call of God?
  • Is there anything in your life for which you need to ask God to forgive you? If so, what?
  • How much time do you devote to giving God praise and thanksgiving?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 50. We thank You that You are a righteous judge. Help us to honor You, praise You, and give thanksgiving to You for who You are. Thank You for loving us and caring about us. Help us to know we can call on You in the day of trouble and You will deliver us. Help us to glorify Your name. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

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

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.

Daily Bible Reading “The LORD is My Light” (Psalm 27:1-14)

The LORD is My Light

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 27:1-14. Psalm 27 is a Psalm of David. In the first half of the chapter David talks about his faith and trust in God. The second half is David’s prayer to God for deliverance.

David declares that the LORD is his light and salvation. He finds his strength in God. David asks who he should fear or of whom should he be afraid.

Even when David’s enemy sought to destroy him the LORD protected him. David trusted God to put a shield of protection around him. David’s desire was to dwell in the house of the LORD and sing praises to His holy name.

David cried out to God to have mercy on him and not deliver him into the hands of his enemies. David encourages us to wait on the LORD and be courageous, and depend on God to strengthen our hearts and keep us from evil.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 27:1-14

1 [[A Psalm of David.]] The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

 

Things to think about:

  • What do we learn about David’s relationship with God in this Scripture?
  • What was David’s plea to God?
  • With what encouraging words does David end this chapter?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture in the book of Psalms. We thank You that You are our light and our salvation. Thank You for watching over us and protecting us from the enemy. We thank You that You hear our prayers when we cry out to You. Teach us Your ways and lead us in the path of righteousness for Your sake. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Who Will Dwell in Your Holy Hill” (Psalm 15:1-5)

Who Will Dwell in Your Holy Hill

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 15:1-5. Psalm 15 is a Psalm of David. David asks the LORD who will abide in His tabernacle. Who will dwell in the holy hill of Zion?

The answer is:

  • Those who walk upright and whose works are righteous
  • Those who tell the truth
  • Those who don’t gossip about others
  • Those who do good to their neighbors
  • Those who despise evil
  • Those who stand by their commitments
  • Those who don’t take bribes
  • Those who can’t be bought

He honors those who fear the LORD. He or she is a person of honor and lives in obedience to God’s will and God’s Word.

James 2:18 tells us, “Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.” Yes, salvation is a free gift of God, but those who are saved; their actions should show their right standing with God.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 15:1-5

1 [[A Psalm of David.]] LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

 

Things to think about:

  • What was David’s question to the LORD in this Scripture?
  • What was the LORD’S response to David’s question?
  • What can we learn from this Scripture?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for this Scripture in the book of Psalms. Help us to live in a way that brings honor and glory to You. Help us to speak the truth. Help us to live peaceably with our neighbors. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
