November 24 - Psalm 92 · A Chapter a Day Bible Reading

• 0:11
  Hello friends, Happy Friday to you Sean.
• 0:15
  Here it is the end of the week. Welcome to today.
• 0:20
  I hope today is just like a rainbow with a pot of gold not
• 0:25
  far away. Although it's hard to find that
• 0:29
  pot of gold, isn't it? You can get to the end of the
• 0:31
  right road and go searching in the bushes, but it's just not
• 0:34
  there. Well, I hope that well, Saturday
• 0:36
  and Sunday do actually arrive and you can find that little pot
• 0:39
  of golden time to rest and recover and be maybe even sleep
• 0:44
  in and cook some bacon for breakfast.
• 0:47
  Now that is me showing you my hand of what I I think is an
• 0:51
  outstanding way to spend the weekend cook breakfasts.
• 0:54
  Ah, you just can't get enough of them, right?
• 0:57
  So good. I hope you have some of them in
• 0:59
  the days ahead, because today we are going to read a Psalm.
• 1:03
  This is a Psalm of praise. Psalm 92.
• 1:07
  This is a Psalm, A song to be sung on the Sabbath day.
• 1:11
  So, well, I'm sorry. We're going to do it on Friday.
• 1:14
  Not quite the Sabbath, but if you like, you can re listen to
• 1:17
  it. Or you can sing it to yourself
• 1:19
  on the Sabbath. It's Psalm 92.
• 1:21
  You can open your Bible. The the rhythm.
• 1:25
  I often try and sing these to myself sometimes, but it really
• 1:29
  doesn't work. The the translation from the
• 1:31
  original into the English doesn't really still have that
• 1:35
  that rhythm and that cadence that makes us able to put it to
• 1:39
  song. Or maybe I'm just not nearly
• 1:42
  talented enough, or musically rhythmly rhythmically gifted.
• 1:48
  Clearly not linguistically gifted.
• 1:50
  But that's OK. I will do what I can, and right
• 1:53
  now what I can do is invite you to put down your day and join me
• 1:59
  as we read together. Psalm 92.
• 2:13
  It is good to give thanks to the Lord to sing praises to the Most
• 2:18
  High. It is good to proclaim your
• 2:21
  unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the
• 2:24
  evening. Accompanied by A10 stringed
• 2:27
  instrument, a harp, and the melody of a liar.
• 2:32
  You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me.
• 2:36
  I sing for joy because of what you have done.
• 2:40
  Oh Lord, what great works you do, and how deep are your
• 2:44
  thoughts. Only a simpleton would not know,
• 2:48
  and only a fool would not understand this.
• 2:51
  Though the wicked sprout like weeds and evil doers flourish,
• 2:55
  they will be destroyed forever. But you, O Lord, will be exalted
• 3:02
  forever. Your enemies, Lord, will surely
• 3:05
  perish. All evil doers will be
• 3:07
  scattered. That you have made me as strong
• 3:11
  as a wild ox. You have anointed me with the
• 3:15
  finest oil. My eyes have seen the downfall
• 3:19
  of my enemies. My ears have heard the defeat of
• 3:22
  my wicked opponents. But the godly will flourish like
• 3:27
  palm trees and grow strong like the Cedars of Lebanon, for they
• 3:33
  are transplanted to the Lord's own house.
• 3:37
  They flourish in the courts of our God.
• 3:41
  Even in old age they will still produce fruit.
• 3:45
  They will remain vital and green.
• 3:48
  They will declare the Lord is just.
• 3:51
  He is my rock. There is no evil in him.
• 4:07
  Well, father, the Psalmist said it all.
• 4:09
  What is left to pray, except to echo those words that it is good
• 4:15
  to give you thanks. It is good to sing your praises.
• 4:18
  It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning
• 4:23
  and the evening. You are just the best, and we
• 4:28
  love you so much. Thank you for being the
• 4:32
  incredibly generous, faithful, magnificent God that you are.
• 4:39
  We just bow down before you and we elevate you as high as our
• 4:44
  little human concepts can raise you.
• 4:48
  And we worship you alone. It is good to give you thanks
• 4:54
  and praise. And that is what we give you
• 4:57
  now. And we do this all in the name
• 5:01
  of Jesus, whom You gave us to reveal Your heart to us.
• 5:10
  Amen.
