Introduction

Today’s Reading
Psalm 81
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 (Scripture passages from the Ten Commandments). Why are these words important? What is promised to those who obey God (verses 13-16)?
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 86: A prayer for God’s help.
