Oh Come To God With Praise

Daily Devotional With Pastor Dan – September 16th, 2020

(Psalm 95:3-7)…..Oh come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. 3 For the Lord is the great God, and the great King above all gods. 4 In His hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the hills are His also. 5 The sea is His, for He made it; And His hands formed the dry land. 6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. 7 For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand.

This Psalm is an appeal to worship God in song and praise – to thank Him for all that His salvation has given us – for the LORD is the Rock of our salvation. The Christian has every reason to praise the LORD – because you belong to Him. You will notice – that worship of the LORD takes on many forms

  1. Oh come, let us sing to the LORD
  2. Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation
  3. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving
  4. Let us shout joyfully to Him with Psalms

There is a place for a – somber – reflective – mood in worship – but it should not be the dominant tone – because God’s people have much to shout joyfully about. Let us come before His presence – (95:3) – this means that worship should be done with a conscious sense of God’s presence. After all, God’s people don’t sing into empty space, He is in their presence and they are in His presence.

There were probably many in the Psalmist day that thought Jehovah was merely a local deity – the god of a small nation – therefore one of the inferior deities of that time. Today there are many who do not recognize the LORD as the Sovereign – as the Almighty – as the King of Kings – as the Lord of Lord’s – they merely treat Him as common – sometimes as a myth – as an ideology to be had – even as a small god who really has no power – no greater than the creature (His creation) – a small being who man thinks he controls. But notice that the Psalmist refuses to accept or be associated with such dribble – that he may have heard then – and of what we hear today.

Understanding the greatness of God helps us to properly worship Him. “How great is our God?” – that might be answered by answering this question – “Who is God?” Read: (Exodus 3:13-15). Let us worship Him!
