WORD OF THE DAY:

-  Thrill

Welcome back to our journey through the Psalms! Today, we explore Psalms 92 through 97, discovering the timeless wisdom and heartfelt praises that guide us toward a life of joy, contentment, and true beauty. Let's uncover the profound teachings in these Psalms and understand how they speak to our lives today.

Psalm 92 is a joyful song meant to be sung on the Sabbath. It begins by declaring the goodness and faithfulness of God, praising Him for His mighty works and the joy He brings to His people. The psalmist contrasts the temporary nature of the wicked with the flourishing righteousness of those who trust in God.

Psalm 93 is a short but powerful declaration of God's eternal and unshakable reign. It describes God as robed in splendor and clothed with strength, His throne established from eternity. The psalmist emphasizes that God's power surpasses even the mighty seas, asserting His supreme authority.

Psalm 94 is a heartfelt plea for justice and deliverance from oppression. The psalmist cries out to God, imploring Him to act against the wicked and support the righteous. Despite the frustration, the psalmist finds solace in God's unfailing love and ultimate justice.

Psalm 95 is a call to worship and bow down before God, acknowledging Him as the Creator and Shepherd. It reminds us of the importance of praising God and recognizing His greatness. The psalm encourages us to remember God's past faithfulness and to listen to His voice today.

Psalm 96 is a beautiful psalm of praise, urging us to sing a new song to the Lord. It calls on all nations and creation to worship God, celebrating His marvelous deeds and proclaiming His glory. The psalmist highlights the freshness of our praise, encouraging us to continually celebrate God's new mercies.

Psalm 97 declares God's supremacy over all the earth. It speaks of God's strength and His ability to conquer enemies, portraying Him as a mighty ruler. The psalmist encourages the righteous to rejoice in the Lord and give thanks to His holy name.

As I reflect on these Psalms, particularly Psalm 92:4, the word "thrill" stands out to me. The psalmist expresses an overwhelming excitement and joy in the Lord's works.

What has God done for you that thrills you? When I think of the word "thrill," I am reminded of the Wise Men who were thrilled and excited to see the star announcing Jesus' birth.

The excitement comes when we fully grasp all that God has done and is doing. This is what our daily Bible reading does—it helps us learn from the past, see God at work in the present, and pay attention to the amazing ways He moves in our lives.

These Psalms reveal the joy and excitement we can find in God's presence. Whether praising Him for His creation, seeking His justice, or rejoicing in His supremacy, we are reminded of the thrill that comes from knowing and worshiping God. Let us continue to celebrate His marvelous deeds and proclaim His glory, finding joy and contentment in His faithful presence.
