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

Posted on by

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 “I Will Give Thanks to Thee Forever” (Psalm 30:1-12)

Posted on by

I Will Give Thanks to Thee Forever

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 30:1-12. Psalm 30 is a Psalm of dedication of the house of David. David says he will praise the LORD because He has lifted him up and not let David’s enemies claim victory over him. David thanks God for healing him, for bringing his soul from the grave and keeping him alive.

David thanks God for His favor on his life. David declares to the saints they should sing praises to the LORD and give thanks at the remembrance of God’s holiness. David says God’s anger only lasts for a minute, but in His favor is life. David reminds us that crying may last during the darkest hours, but joy comes at the break of day.

In many ways David was a blessed man. He knew where his riches came from. God took a shepherd boy and raised him up to be king over Israel. David stood strong in his belief and trust of the LORD so he declared “I will not be moved.” He praised the LORD for making him to stand strong in the midst of his trials. David knew that when God hid His face from him it caused much sorrow.

David couldn’t stand the fact that the LORD wasn’t happy with him. David needed God’s favor on his life. He says, he cried and prayed to God making his request known to God.

David asks God what it will profit Him if he dies. He then asks God if his dust will praise Him and proclaim His truth. David begs the LORD for mercy and asks Him to be his helper.

Obviously the LORD heard and answered David’s prayer because David states that the LORD turned his sadness into dancing, took his sorrow, and turned it into gladness. David proclaims that he will sing praises to the LORD and give thanks to Him forever.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 30:1-12

1 [[A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.]] I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.
9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

 

Things to think about:

  • Have you ever praised and thanked the LORD outside of church or tragedy?
  • In what ways have you experienced God’s favor in your life?
  • Have you ever asked God to have mercy on you and your life?
  • Do you have any idea how much God loves you?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the homes You have provided for us. We dedicate them to You. We give thanks to You for watching over us and protecting us. We thank You for giving us favor in our lives. We thank You for Your mercy and Your love. We will sing praises to You and give thanks to You forever. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
