Today's Meditation - Psalms
Psalm 99:1-5
This psalm centers its attention upon the holiness of our God and we are exhorted to “exalt” the Lord and worship Him. The Lord is great, and He is ruling over all – that is the primary message of this psalm and the motivation behind our praise. True worship centers in the praise of God Himself and what He has done, is doing, and will do in the future. Take time today to praise Him, and see how many times during the day that you recognize His sovereignty and control over all things.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 3 – “Let them praise Thy great and terrible Name; for it is holy.”
