praise to the awesome God

More to go....

Psalm 66

Have we praised God today?

Verse 5-7 reminds us of the great deeds of God. He dried the sea so that the Israelites can be delivered from slavery. He can perform such miracles in real life and for us even now, not just in the past.

Fire refines silver such that it comes out shiny and pure. Similarly, God puts us through the trials in life to refine us, so that we will be wiser, purer and come out more like Him. Life is a gift from God, we shouldnt take it for granted. Thus in life, we should continually confess our sins, check ourselves and live according to God's plans. God will remember his promises for us. =)

Psalm 67

A psalm that speaks about the joy of sharing the gospel. We need to pray that God's grace be with us and bless us, and let us radiate with His glory. The people will see and know God through us and be saved. They will praise Him for the good news, for what He has done for us, and be glad that we have a righteous judge who will guide us.

Our prayer will be that we will be the one who praise Him and share the gospel so that the harvest will be abundant and all the earth will fear Him!

Psalm 68

Psalm 66 and 67's authors were unknown. But psalm 68 was written by David, when he was bringing the ark into Mount Zion. There was great joy among the people, the righteous, fatherless, widows, lonely and prsoners can rejoice and be hopeful in the Lord. We too can find joy in loving and praising God!

But how can we find that joy? When we see God in His majesty and for who He is, we will have no choice but to praise Him. vs 19-21, God is our salvation. He died to set us free from our sins and death. But those who refuse to accept God will be trapped by the sin they love and be destroyed by the death they fear.

As Christians, we know Jesus poured out all His blood and life, suffered all humiliations, betray and pain for us. When we think about all these thatGod has done for us, we would be overwhelmed with awe and thanksgiving. His unlimtied power and unspeakable majesty will leave us breathless in His presence. He holds the earth in His hands! We will praise Him!
