Cael yr apDaily Bible Reading: November 2021, God’s Word of Praise and ThanksgivingSampl
November 21
Introduction
This psalm is a call for the universe to praise God. While some of Israel’s neighbors worshiped the sun, moon, and stars as gods, in this psalm, the heavenly bodies worship the God who created them. In addition, this psalm invites everyone and everything on earth to praise God as creator.
Today’s Scripture Reading
Psalm 148
Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 148:13
Let them all praise the name of the LORD! His name is greater than all others; his glory is above earth and heaven.
Reflect
At the time that the psalm was written, people believed that the sky was a dome that covered the flat earth. They thought heavenly waters swirled above the sky and that an ocean of water resided under the earth. You may wish to compare today’s psalm with the story of creation as found in Genesis 1—2. What are your thoughts as you reflect on the wonders of God’s creation?
Pray
Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from heaven, you that live in the heights above. Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, shining stars, praise him, highest heavens! Let them all praise the name of the LORD! Your name, O God, is greater than all others, and I praise you! Amen.
