December 14
Introduction
This psalm affirms that God is the supreme king and that God alone is holy. It concludes the collection of psalms we have been reading the past several days (93 – 99) that praise God as king and righteous judge.
Today’s Scripture: Psalm 99:5
Praise the LORD our God; worship before his throne! Holy is he!
Today’s Reading
Psalm 99
Reflect
Verses 3 and 5 end with the words “Holy is he!” and verse 9 concludes with similar words. What has the psalm writer said about God? Verses 6 and 7 include references to leaders in Israel’s past – Moses, Aaron, and Samuel – and how God spoke to them. Moses led the people out of Egypt (Exodus 12:37—14:31); Aaron was Moses’s brother and he and his sons became Israel’s first priests (Exodus 28:1); Samuel led the people after the time of the judges until Israel got its first king (1 Samuel 12:1-25). While the Israelites were in the wilderness, God appeared in the form of a cloud (Exodus 19:9; 33:9). In what ways does God speak to you?
Pray
Holy are you, Lord God, king of all creation. I worship and adore you and praise you for your deeds of righteousness and justice. As I listen for your voice, teach me your ways and order my steps this day. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
