July 31 – Sing and Say – Psalm 96:2 & 10
July 31 –
Sing and Say – Psalm 96:2 & 10
It has hard to believe that we are already
at the end of July. Summer is moving
along and the
weather is
beautiful. Enjoy the lazy, crazy days of
summer they are special. Today the
psalmist gives
two
instructions. Sing to the Lord. Music and song are two wonderful expressions
of the heart. They lift
the soul
and release the Spirit. The psalmist
encourages us to praise the Lord and proclaim His salvation
day after
day. Salvation is not just a Sunday thing but a moment by moment and day by day
experience.
It is
designed to change your life for the better.
Charles Colson once said that salvation to Him was daily
being
renewed. Remember the mercies of God are
new every morning and great is His
faithfulness.
The second instruction is to say to the
nations that the Lord reigns. The world
has been established
and it
cannot be moved. The Lord will judge the
world fairly. We are not only to sing
but proclaim the
Lord in
the arena of life. So sing of the Lord
about His greatness and then say to your world that He
reigns,
creates and judges. The world needs to
hear your voice.

July 30 – Come – Psalm 95:1-6
July 30 –
Come – Psalm 95:1-6
The psalmist gives an invitation
today. He invites people to come and
worship the Lord with songs of
joy. He invites all to shout, make music, sing,
dance, bow down and worship Him. Then
the psalmist
lists the
reasons and they are worthy of note.
The Lord is the Rock of our
salvation. He is the great God and the
King of all the Gods. In His hands
are the
depths of the earth. The mountains peaks
belong to Him. The seas are His because
He created
them. He formed the dry lands with the power of His
word. The Lord is our maker and we are
the
sheep of
His pasture and the flock under His care.
The Lord is all these things and so much
more. Let us today heed this invitation
and experience the
True joy
of worship. Remember worship is an
attitude of the hearty expressed.
Express your heart
today.
July 29 – My Anxiety – Psalm 94:14-15
July 29 – My
Anxiety – Psalm 94:14-15
These two verses are so great for those
going through hard times. The psalmist
says that when he
felt like
life and was slipping out of control.
When He felt that he was about to fall.
When his anxiety
and fear
level was at an all time high that is when the love of God came into support
Him. When we
have
conflict and war going on in our minds that is when the consolation, comfort,
righteousness and
peace of
the Lord flood in. In 1 Pet 5:7 we are
reminded to cast all our cares on Him for He cares for us.
Jesus has promised peace so in this moment
receive His peace. Jesus promised that
if we come to
Him with
our burdens He will take them and carry them.
In this moment as you start your day give all
your
burdens, concerns and hurt to Him. He
will heal, restore, forgive and set your free.
Make that
choice
today.

July 28 – The Lord teaches – Psalm 94:12-13
July 28 –
The Lord teaches – Psalm 94:12-13
The psalmist brings a pearl of wisdom or
common sense. Often the Bible is a
collection of pithy and
wise
sayings and stories of common sense and accounts of men dealing with a God of
grace, mercy and
love. Here the psalmist points out that a person
that the Lord disciplines and correct is actually blessed.
One man
stated that the Lord loves us to much to allow us to stay the way we are. We are flawed, sinful
And
prideful. This needs to be corrected or
we will be selfish vain and damaging to others.
We correct
Our
children because their bad behaviour hurts themselves and others. God does the same with us.
The
problem is no one really likes to be corrected.
When a person is taught by the word of God
this actually gives them relief in their times of trouble.
The Bible
is a compass and guide book for life. In
its pages you find written examples of how to avoid
Trouble
and the consequences of sin and pride.
These examples are given so we do not have to make
The same
mistake as others.
The psalmist says that a pit is waiting
for the wicked. You reap what you
sow. Often we find our-
Selves in
a pit of our own making. Wicked creates
pits of despair or hurt. Sow wickedness
and you
Reap
wickedness. Sow righteousness and you
will reap righteousness. Seems the
choice should be
Clear.

July 27 – The Lord reigns – Psalm 93:1
July 27 –
The Lord reigns – Psalm 93:1
The Psalmist writes to important
facts. The Lord reigns. He is supreme and in control. No one is like
God. Heaven and earth were created by Him and for
Him. It was out of love that He made all
things. He
Is the
creator and sustainer of all things. He
is the reason why we breathe and think.
Next, the Lord is
Robed in
majesty. Majesty means greatness or one
who brings admiration and respect. The
Lord has all
These
qualities and more. He is beyond
description in fact to wonderful for words.
The
Lord is armed with strength. No one is
mightier or more powerful than God. He
is omnipotent.
One
quality about the creation He made is that it is firm established and cannot be
moved. The law and
order He
created cannot be suspended or changed.
Only the Lord Himself can do that.
These are things
that all
creatures in God’s creation can be sure of and that the Lord is the same
yesterday, today and
forever. You can trust the Lord with your past,
present and future.

July 25 – It is good – Psalm 92:1-2
July 25 –
It is good – Psalm 92:1-2
The writer of this psalm is unknown but it
is a psalm for the Sabbath. The writer
tells the readers that
It is good
to praise the Lord with music. Music is
a form to release the soul. It releases
joy and victory
into the
heart of participant. Praise and worship
is one of the highest expressions of the heart.
Remember
worship is an attitude of the heart expressed.
Today many great songs express worship to
The
Lord. This worship is to the Lord most
High. There is no one like Him. From ages to ages He is to be
Praised.
Through praise and worship the believer is
to proclaim His love in the Morning and His faithfulness at
night.
We begin with His love which is the foundation for every day and then we
thank Him for His
faithfulness
at the end of the day. He has loved us
and kept us through His faithfulness each moment of
the day. These are two things to thank the Lord for today.
