Today's Meditation - Psalms
Psalm 135:1-6
The admonition to “Praise ye the LORD” is repeated several times in this portion of the psalm, and the words “The LORD hath chosen Jacob unto Himself, and Israel for His peculiar treasure,” remind us of Israel’s place in the heart and plan of God. The Lord is great and good, and He does whatever He pleases to do in heaven and on earth. Worship is characterized by “praise,” and the worship center (“house of the LORD”) should be filled with it. The Lord wants us to acknowledge Him and His greatness, and to sing it unto His Name. Verse 3 reminds us “for it is pleasant.”
Verse for Meditation: Verse 5 – “For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.”
