Daily Bible Reading “Sing to the LORD” (Psalm 101:1-8)

Posted on by

 

Sing to the LORD

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 101:1-8. Psalm 101 is a Psalm of David. He declares that he will sing to the LORD because of His mercy and judgment. David says he will behave himself wisely in a perfect way and walk in his house with a perfect heart. He promises not to set any wicked thing before his eyes. Could we make that promise in this day and time? How can we behave wisely today?

David separated himself from the wicked, the liars, and the proud. He preferred to spend time with the faithful people of the land. David’s goal was to cut all the wicked people off from the city of the LORD. Why was he qualified to make a decision like that and carry it out? How is that concept both wise and misused?

Looking at this Psalm of David we are reminded that we need to be careful with whom we spend our time. Not to say that you shouldn’t witness to the wicked. But, if we spend too much time hanging around those who aren’t believers it can influence our lives. It may even cause us to stray from the ways of the LORD.

By the same token if we spend most of our time with other believers we can be encouraged in the faith and lift each other up. Do you spend most of your time with believers or non-believers?

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 101:1-8

1 [[A Psalm of David.]] I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.

2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

 

Things to think about:

  • What are the two things David says he will sing to the LORD about?
  • How can we keep wicked things from coming before our eyes?
  • As believers in Christ, who is it best for us to spend time with the most?
  • How can we balance our time spent with fellow believers and our time evangelizing to the lost?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 101 in which David reminds us to sing of Your mercy and judgment. Thank You that You are a merciful God. Help us to live in a way that we wouldn’t have to be recipients of Your judgment. Help us to do Your will. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

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

Posted on by

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 Sing of Your Love Forever” (Psalm 89:1-9)

Posted on by

 

I will Sing of Your Love Forever

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 89:1-9. In Psalm 89 the Psalmist declares he will sing about the love of God forever. He says he will tell of God’s faithfulness throughout the generations. The Psalmist praises God for His wondrous works and says even the heavens will praise God for them.

He thanks God for his faithfulness to the saints and reminds us God is to be feared and revered by His saints. God is all-powerful. There is nothing He can’t do.

This would be a good passage of Scripture for us to pray to God. It would be a great way for us to start our prayers. Don’t you think it would get God’s attention if we started our prayers with thanks and praise to Him instead of asking Him for what we want or need? The Psalmist acknowledges that God rules the sea and has the power to calm the waves.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 89:1-9

1 [[Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.]] I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,
4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.
5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?
7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.
8 O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

 

Things to think about:

  • How can we use music to offer our praises to God?
  • What are some other ways we can praise God?
  • In what ways do you acknowledge God as being all-powerful?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank you for this Scripture in Psalm 89 where the Psalmist reminds us of Your faithfulness to the saints. He also reminds us to sing praises to You and acknowledges Your strength and power. Help us to always praise You for Your wondrous works. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Make a Joyful Noise unto God” (Psalm 66:1-20)

Posted on by

Make a Joyful Noise unto God

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 66:1-20. In Psalm 66 the Psalmist exhorts us to worship, praise, and sing to God. He talks about how God takes care of His children by citing the incident when God turned the sea into dry land so they could cross it. What are some ways we can praise and worship God?

The Psalmist talks about how God tries us like silver is tried in the fire. Sometimes we have to go through trials in our life but, with God’s help we come out on the other side of it better than we were before. It may make us stronger and more resilient.

Sometimes God may let us go through some tough times in order to make us better. Make sure to use these times of trial to make yourself better and not bitter by observing what you learn during the tough trials of this life.

The Psalmist talks about giving his offerings to God and paying honor and tribute to God for His goodness and love. This is another way of worshiping and praising God, by showing our appreciation for all He is and all He does for us.

The Psalmist acknowledges if we have sin in our hearts, God won’t hear our prayers. It is important that we keep the lines of communication open with God as believers.

Have you ever felt like your prayers weren’t being heard? If so, do a heart check. We need to make sure we repent of our sins and ask God to forgive us so He will hear our prayers. God doesn’t do this to punish us but wants us to get our hearts and lives right with Him.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 66:1-20

1 [[To the chief Musician, A Song [or] Psalm.]] Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
6 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.
12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

 

Things to think about:

  • How do you give praise and honor to God?
  • Do you give offerings to God in appreciation for who He is and what He has done for you?
  • Have you kept your commitments to God?
  • Do you have iniquity (sin) in your heart? If so, ask God to forgive you and cleanse your heart so your prayers won’t be hindered.

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture where we are reminded to worship, praise, and glorify You. We pray You will forgive us of our sins and help us to keep the lines of communication open with You. Help us to keep the commitments we have made to You. Help us not to hold iniquity in our hearts. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Sing Praises to the LORD

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 9:11-20. David encourages us to sing praises to the LORD who dwells in Zion, and declare His wonderful works among the people. David declares that the LORD doesn’t forget the cry of the humble.

He cries out to the LORD to have mercy on him and consider the trouble that he faces because of those who hate him.

David promises the LORD that if He spares his life and saves him from the enemy he will praise the LORD in the gates of Zion and rejoice in the salvation of the LORD.

David declares that the LORD is known by the judgment that He places on the wicked. He says that the wicked will be caught in their snares.

David says that the poor and needy will not be forgotten.
David cries out for the LORD to arise and not let the wicked man prevail, but to judge the nations so that the people may know that they are only men. David’s cry is for the nations to recognize the LORD God of Zion.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 9:11-20

11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
