How I need to remember to rejoice and give thanks!

Psalm 97 reminded me of that again this morning. (Will it remind me later today as well?)

The Lord reigneth;
let the earth rejoice;
let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

Ye that love the Lord,
hate evil:
he preserveth the souls of his saints;
he delivereth them
out of the hand of the wicked.

Light is sown for the righteous,
and gladness for the upright in heart.

Rejoice in the Lord,
ye righteous;
and give thanks
at the remembrance of his holiness.

I am thankful God is holy.

I want to remember that today.

And I want His holiness to bring holiness to my life.

That title doesn’t seem particularly inspirational.

But I think it’s what I should focus on this morning.

No doubt when you read Psalm 96, something different will impress you.

Sing unto the Lord,
bless his name;
shew forth his salvation from day to day.

Declare his glory
among the heathen,
his wonders among all people.

O worship the Lord
in the beauty of holiness:
fear before him, all the earth.

Say among the heathen
that the Lord reigneth…
he shall judge the people righteously.
