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

DAY 27 OF 30

November 27

Introduction

Psalm 147: Today’s psalm expands on themes found in yesterday’s reading (Psalm 146). These themes include God’s help and justice for the poor, the importance of trusting in God rather than in human leaders, and the glory of God’s creation. This psalm was written after the exile and praises God for restoring Jerusalem and bringing his people home.

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 147:5

Great and mighty is our Lord; his wisdom cannot be measured.

Reflect

Reread verses 12–20. God’s blessings for Jerusalem include secure gates (meaning peace), many children, and good harvests. Verses 19 and 20 note that God has spoken a personal word to his people. God’s instructions and laws are given to Israel. Just as God expects nature to obey his word, so also does God expect people to obey him. What does it mean for you to obey God?

Pray

Praise the LORD! It is good to sing praise to you, O God; it is pleasant and right to praise you. May I find the strength and wisdom to obey your word and walk in your ways all my life. I seek to honor you, and I trust in your constant love. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

Psalm 148: The universe is called upon to praise God.

Scripture

Dan 26Dan 28
