God’s righteous acts revealed!
Scripture reading for December 19th: Micah 4-6, Revelation 15
Key Scriptures: Revelation 15:3-4 “And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and amazing are Your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations! Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your Name? For You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed.”
John sees a group of martyrs who are now in heaven. These have overcome the beast and they have harps ready to worship. Their song is part of the ancient song of Moses, sung by Israel after their great deliverance from the pursuing Egyptian army, as God drowned them all in the sea. God’s marvelous deeds and amazing justice should cause all to worship Him.
Micah 6:7-8 “Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?” He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice; and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.”
Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your righteous acts throughout history and Your Word. You alone are worthy of worship now and for eternity. May I walk humbly with You daily. Amen.
Praise the Lord!
Scripture reading for July 12th: Psalm 148-150, Proverbs 1-2
Key Scriptures: Psalm 150:1-6 “Praise the Lord. Praise God in His Sanctuary; praise Him in His mighty heavens. Praise Him for His acts of power, praise Him for His surpassing greatness. Praise Him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise Him with the harp and lyre, praise Him with tambourine and dancing, praise Him with the strings and flute, praise Him with the clash of cymbals, praise Him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.”
Proverbs 1:7 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.”
The worship book of Psalms ends with a mighty call to praise the Lord! Praise is due to God for who He is and for His mighty works. Praise should come with instruments and from the breath of all living creatures. God, alone, is worthy of all praise! Proverbs begins with a call to wisdom marked by the fear of the Lord! In Revelation, both come together as the wise worship the Lord of Creation!
Glory to His Name: “Great and marvelous are Your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are Your ways, King of the Ages. Who will not fear you, O Lord, and bring glory to Your Name? For You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed.” (Revelation 15:3-4)
