How Do We Worship Jesus?


Today’s Feast

How Shall We Sing the Lord's Song?

In all things give thanks to the Lord!

December 7, 2013 – Psalms 137-138

Psalms 137  “The Jews bewail their captivity. (1-4) Their affection for Jerusalem. (5-9)” - Matthew Henry Concise

Psalms 138  “The psalmist praises God for answering prayer. (1-5) The Lord's dealing with the humble and the proud. (6-8)” - Matthew Henry Concise



Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in Psalms 137-138.  In Psalms 137 The Psalmist disdains the captivity of the Israelites and the fact that their captors are mocking by making them sing songs.  Being captives they are asking God to let the Edomites enemies succeed against them.  “8 O daughter of Babylon, doomed to be destroyed, blessed shall he be who repays you with what you have done to us! 9 Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock!  Psalms 137:8-9  - English Standard Version (ESV).  While suffering, we should recall with repentance and sorrow our lost blessings.  Without complaint own up to and repent for our current sinful state asking Jesus to forgive us (see 1 John 1:9).  In Psalms 138 The psalmist is giving thanks to the God of Israel. Reminding us the different way God deals with the proud vs. the humble.  “7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me. 8 The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.  Psalm 138:7-8  - ESV.  Whenever we don’t like the way anything in life is turning, it is not the time to complain.  It is time to humbly turn to God in Jesus name and ask him to alter the circumstances (See 2 Chronicles 7:14).  “25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,John 11:25 .   In all things singing songs and giving thanks in Jesus name.

Thank God from whom all blessings flow.  Hallelujah!
