November 11
Introduction
This celebratory psalm recounts God’s deliverance of the Israelites from bondage in Egypt and concludes with an affirmation of God’s love and care for those who obey him.
Today’s Scripture Reading
Psalm 81
Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 81:1
Shout for joy to God our defender; sing praise to the God of Jacob!
Reflect
This psalm, most likely written for a festival, would have been accompanied by music. What instruments are mentioned? What festivals are celebrated or commemorated in your community of faith? The psalm recalls how God delivered the Israelites from slavery (verses 6-10). What did God do? Verse 10 begins with the first words from Exodus 20:2, and verse 9 echoes Exodus 20:3. Why are these words important? What is promised to those who obey God?
Pray
I sing for joy, Lord God because you are my defender and deliverer. I feast today on your Word and worship you. I praise your holy name. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Churches celebrating their anniversaries
Tomorrow’s Reading
Psalm 82: God is the supreme ruler.
