Reflection - Psalm 96 - Daily Devotion

Source (book): "My Soul Thirsts For God", Reflections on the Psalms from Our Daily Bread, Psalm 96, "Daily Devotion", Page 128.

Psalm 96
PHOTO: Psalm 96
Sing to the Lord a new song;
Sing to the Lord, praise his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
he is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the nations are idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and glory are in his sanctuary.

Ascribe to the Lord, O families of nations,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come into his courts.
Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness;
tremble before him, all the earth.
 
Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.”
The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved;
he will judge the peoples with equity.
Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
Then all the trees of the forest sing for joy;
They will sing before the Lord, for he comes,
 he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
and the peoples in his truth.


Daily Devotion
Tiger Woods has won many dramatic tournament victories during his professional golf career. But one of his greatest achievements went virtually unnoticed because it unfolded slowly over seven years. During that period, Tiger qualified in 142 consecutive tournaments - more than any other player of his commitment and consistency and to his conviction never to give up.

Recently I was challenged by a friend's statement of his growing desire to follow the Lord with "
daily rather than dramatic devotion." Is that how it is in my life of faith in Jesus Christ? Am I consistent or erratic? Am I dependable or unreliable?

There are great spiritual events in our lives, but our daily choices to obey Christ best express our ongoing love for Him. Psalm 96, a ringing call to witness and praise, says: "
Sing to the Lord, praise his name, proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all people" (Psalm 96:2-3).

When we are consistently devoted to the Lord, we will proclaim His love and power day after day. Over time, a life of daily loyalty will become a magnificent testimony to our Savior.
