I know I do not take time to praise Him joyfully often enough. What a great reminder today in Psalm 95.
Praise to the LORD, and Warning against Unbelief.
1O come, let us sing for joy to the LORD,
Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.
2Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving,
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
3For the LORD is a great God
And a great King above all gods,
4In whose hand are the depths of the earth,
The peaks of the mountains are His also.
5The sea is His, for it was He who made it,
And His hands formed the dry land.
6Come, let us worship and bow down,
Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.
7For He is our God,
And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand.
Today, if you would hear His voice,
8Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,
As in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
9“When your fathers tested Me,
They tried Me, though they had seen My work.
10“For forty years I loathed that generation,
And said they are a people who err in their heart,
And they do not know My ways.
11“Therefore I swore in My anger,
Truly they shall not enter into My rest.”
Spend some time humbly before our Lord in prayer, focused on His greatness and thanking Him for His blessings. Ask the Spirit to show you if you are not fully surrendered to God and to help you do so today. Do not put it off, but come before Him now and submit to His rule. Ask for help to change your life to His glory and your joy.
