Psalm 95:1–5 (ESV) — 1 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our
salvation!
2 Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of
praise!
3 For the Lord is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are his also.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.
NOTE: The gods of
the land were limited to certain places or certain abilities. The Psalmist
extols the God of Israel as the God above all gods, who does not reign in
limited areas, but rules over all. He is the creator of all things. And for
these reasons and more, we should sing joyfully to him--He is deserving of all
our praise. For Christians, these statements are even more true. We have been
redeemed and sealed with Holy Spirit. Our bodies are not temples of the HS. We
have been adopted in God's family. We carry his name, although poorly at times.
We are loved, completely loved, and loved independently from our actions. What
an amazing and undeserved consequence of our faith. And all the more reason,
that we need to sing praise to the great God of all the earth. We are His!!
