Psalms 111-118
What do you notice about today’s readings? Is there anything different?
These Psalms are not attributed to King David (at least not in my Bible), but many believe he could have written them. They appear to have been written at a time of peace giving praise and honor to God for deliverance and salvation. Perhaps David wrote them with his son, Solomon, the future king, in mind. In verse, The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. Of course, we know this verse so well from the opening book of Proverbs.
.
Praise be to God for the righteousness that we have received through our Lord and Savior, Jesus. May you praise God today through your words, thoughts and actions.
Open to me the gates of righteousness,
that I may enter through them
and give thanks to the Lord.
20 This is the gate of the Lord;
the righteous shall enter through it.
21 I thank you that you have answered me
and have become my salvation.
22 The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.[f]
23 This is the Lord’s doing;
it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
from Psalm 118
