Today's Meditation - Psalms
Psalm 99:6-9
The key verses of Psalm 99 are found in verse 5 and in verse 9 –almost the same wording – “Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; for the LORD our God is holy.” The holiness of God means that He is separate from sin, of course, but it also means that He is separate from that which He created. The emphasis in the first five verses is on the greatness of our God; the primary focus in this portion of the psalm is how God answers those who call upon His Name. In either case, He is to be exalted!
Verse for Meditation: Verse 6 – “Moses and Aaron among His priests, and Samuel among them that call upon His Name; they called upon the LORD, and He answered them.”
