Bible Reading: Psalm 115: 1 - 18
Topic: A Triumphal Song
Psalm 115 is a triumphal
song, in which the victory gained is entirely ascribed to Jehovah.
The Psalmist teaches that
God alone is to be glorified (vs. 1 - 3).
He also shows the vanity
of idols (vs. 4 - 8) and exhorts Israel and all that fear God to trust in the
Lord (vs. 9 - 11), because the Lord is good to His people and He will fulfill
His gracious promises (vs. 12 - 16).
As living souls, we should
praise Him because the dead cannot (vs. 17 - 18)
The Lord wants and expects
us to be thankful to Him in everything (1 Thess. 5: 18)
Who are those that can
thank the Lord?
They are those who can say
with Paul, "I have learned in whatever state I am to be content."
(Phil. 4:11); and those who do not take God's blessings for granted like the
one leper out of ten (Lk. 17: 12- 18)
Furthermore He wants us to
testify to His wonderful deeds (1 Chron. 16: 8). He wants us to gather in
Church with thanksgiving in our hearts (Ps. 100: 4) and to praise Him with
songs continually (Ps. 34: 1; 69: 30)
Therefore brethren as we
go into the House of the Lord today, let us be thankful to God for His goodness
and mercy.
Please sing this song as
praise and prayer
I will sing unto the Lord, a joyful son
and I'll praise His Name for the Lord is Good
Alleluia
Prayer:
My God and my Father, fill
my heart with songs always that I may always use my mouth to sing unto You no
matter the situation and circumstance, Amen.
Memory verse: Psalm 115: 14
"The Lord shall
increase you more and more and even your children"
