2024 31-Day Praising Day 2:

"Come, Let Us Sing for Joy to the Lord" (Psalm 95:1-7a)
(Memorization Scripture 1-3)

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;
7a For He is our God
and we are the people of His pasture,
the flock under His care.

Reflection:
"Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation! Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song!" At the start of this new day, is your heart stirred by the psalmist’s invitation to join in praising the Lord? Does your spirit awaken early, rejoicing and singing to Him in thanksgiving and praise? We are called to sing and shout for joy to Him because "the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods." He is not only the Almighty Creator but also "our God"—the Rock of our salvation. The ultimate reason for our worship and praise is His identity: He is God, our God, and He alone is worthy of all praise in heaven and on earth. "Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker!" While we practice "making joyful noises" and offering unrestrained and heartfelt praise, we must also come with a heart of reverence, bowing in worship and praising Him in spirit and truth. Let us remember not only that He is our God but also that "we are the people of His pasture, the flock under His care."
