Gba ohun èlò náàDaily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of PraiseÀpẹrẹ
November 26
Introduction
Today, and for the next four days, we will be reading the concluding five psalms (146-150) in the book of Psalms. All five of these psalms begin and end with the words “Praise the LORD!” and form the concluding doxology to the book. These five psalms are also known as the “Hallelujah” psalms because in some translations they begin and end with the word “Hallelujah.” Today’s reading praises God as Creator and Deliverer and emphasizes God’s concern for justice.
Today’s Scripture: Psalm 146:1, 2
Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, my soul! I will praise him as long as I live; I will sing to my God all my life.
Today’s Reading
Psalm 146
Reflect
Reread verses 3 and 4. These verses reflect the strong message of Israel’s prophets and the Law that the people were to place their trust in God and not in earthly leaders, wealth, foreign powers, or idols. What are the risks of putting our trust in worldly things? Why might we be tempted to do so?
Pray
Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD my soul! I will praise you as long as I live, O God. I will sing to you all my life. You always keep your promises; you judge in favor of the oppressed and give food to the hungry. May your name be praised forever! Amen.
Prayer Concern
Caregivers
Tomorrow’s Reading
Psalm 147: A psalm in praise of God the Almighty.
