Worship The Lord In the Splendor of Holiness!

Worship The Lord In the Splendor of Holiness!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who ascribe glory and strength to the Lord. In Jesus’ name.

The term ascribe means “to give credit to.”

In the case of Psalm 29:1-2 (ESV), we learn what David, the psalmist, ascribes to the Lord. Moreover, the credit given to the Lord leads to worship.

“Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.”

Pondering the Lord’s glory and strength should give us pause. Are you in awe of holy God? Praise his name.

Cry Out For Mercy!

Cry Out For Mercy!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who cry out for mercy. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The author of Psalm 23 makes it clear he sees the Lord is his shepherd.

In Psalm 28:6-9 (ESV) the Lord is portrayed as a personal God who can hear the voice of those who cry out for mercy. Verse 9 refers to a shepherd who will carry God’s people for eternity.

“Blessed be the Lord!
For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.
The Lord is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him.

The Lord is the strength of his people;
he is the saving refuge of his anointed.
Oh, save your people and bless your heritage!
Be their shepherd and carry them forever.”

The Lord saves. Have you pledged to live for him? If not. Why not now?
