Today's Meditation - Psalms
Psalm 118:15-21
Psalm 113 to 118 is referred to by Jewish people as the “Hallel,” or the psalms of praise. This portion was sung by the levitical choir on the day of Passover when the lambs were killed in the temple. It speaks of victory and deliverance and focuses on praising the Lord for His salvation. In verse 19 we read, “Open to me the gates of righteousness.” Some apply these words to our Lord’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem on the day we call “Palm Sunday.” One thing is for sure – the Lord desires our praise for Who He is and for all He has done for us!
Verse for Meditation: Verse 19 – “Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD.”
