Introduction
This psalm is another song of praise that celebrates God’s faithfulness, justice and fairness.
Today’s Scripture: Psalm 98:4
Sing for joy to the LORD, all the earth; praise him with songs and shouts of joy!
Today’s Reading
Psalm 98
Reflect
This psalm is similar to Psalm 96 and calls upon creation to join in praising God (verses 7, 8). Verse 9 declares that God rules with justice and fairness, the same words used at the end of Psalm 96. If you are familiar with the words to the Christmas carol, “Joy to the World,” you may wish to compare the words of that carol with Psalm 98 and note the similarities. Reread verses 4-6. What instructions are given for worshiping and praising the LORD? How is joy and praise expressed in your community of faith?
Pray
I sing for joy, O Lord, because of your steadfast love and faithfulness. My heart is in tune with the music of your teachings. I trust in your promises and praise your holy name. Amen.
