Meditation

Hi there,

Psalm 95 contains three specific invitations to worship and Thanksgiving.

We are first invited to thank and praise God being God, ("Come let us...), then for being the creator God; Finally we are invited to recognize and remember him as the personal God of His people, Israel.

Thanksgiving is the act of remembering Who God is, and How he provides for and protects his creation and What he has done for his people.

Today's text is Psalm 95:6-7a (and are called out in black)

Psalm 95

¹ Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
 let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
² Let us come before him with thanksgiving
 and extol him with music and song.

³ For the Lord is the great God,
 the great King above all gods.
⁴ In his hand are the depths of the earth,
 and the mountain peaks belong to him.
⁵ The sea is his, for he made it,
 and his hands formed the dry land.

⁶ Come, let us bow down in worship,
 let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
⁷ for he is our God
 and we are the people of his pasture,
 the flock under his care.

Today, if only you would hear his voice,
⁸ “Do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah,^[a]
 as you did that day at Massah^[b] in the wilderness,
⁹ where your ancestors tested me;
 they tried me, though they had seen what I did.

¹⁰ For forty years I was angry with that generation;
 I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,
 and they have not known my ways.’
¹¹ So I declared on oath in my anger,
 ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”
