Daily Bible Reading – November 2023, God’s Saving Word: Praise and Thanksgiving

DAY 18 OF 30

November 18

Introduction

Psalm 118: It is thought that this psalm was adapted from a prayer of thanksgiving by an individual, perhaps a king, who was delivered by God from danger. It is sometimes entitled “A Song of Victory.” The psalm concludes with a description of a liturgical procession and an affirmation of God’s eternal love.

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 118:28

You are my God, and I give you thanks; I will proclaim your greatness.

Reflect

The opening and closing verses of this psalm are identical and affirm God’s goodness and enduring love. For what is the writer thankful? What verses speak of God’s deliverance? The psalm also includes a reference to a procession (verses 19–27). Have you ever participated in a religious procession? If so, what was the occasion and where did it take place?

Pray

Praise to you, Lord God! You are always with me and I need not fear. You are mighty and victorious. I give thanks to you because you are good and your love is eternal. You are my God and I will proclaim your greatness. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading
