God Sends Jesus
Honoring the Sabbath
Psalm 92:1-9
The Message
A Sabbath Song
92 1-3 What a beautiful thing, God, to give thanks,
to sing an anthem to you, the High God!
To announce your love each daybreak,
sing your faithful presence all through the night,
Accompanied by dulcimer and harp,
the full-bodied music of strings.
to sing an anthem to you, the High God!
To announce your love each daybreak,
sing your faithful presence all through the night,
Accompanied by dulcimer and harp,
the full-bodied music of strings.
4-9 You made me so happy, God
I saw your work and I shouted for joy.
How magnificent your work, God!
How profound your thoughts!
Dullards never notice what you do;
fools never do get it.
When the wicked popped up like weeds
and all the evil men and women took over,
You mowed them down,
finished them off once and for all.
You, God, are High and Eternal.
Look at your enemies, God!
Look at your enemies—ruined!
Scattered to the winds, all those hirelings of evil!
I saw your work and I shouted for joy.
How magnificent your work, God!
How profound your thoughts!
Dullards never notice what you do;
fools never do get it.
When the wicked popped up like weeds
and all the evil men and women took over,
You mowed them down,
finished them off once and for all.
You, God, are High and Eternal.
Look at your enemies, God!
Look at your enemies—ruined!
Scattered to the winds, all those hirelings of evil!
The
Sabbath day is a day of rest and holy work. Sing anthems of joy and
hope. Sing songs of praise and thanksgiving. Take a look around you. It is all God's work. God has worked for good and, if you look closely,
you will find a progression of peace. Peace is fragile. God shows us
the way to protect and nurture peace.
Pray
for
the good works of God to displace the selfish and loathsome. Pray in
adoration of the God of our salvation. Pray for a compassionate, just
and peaceful world.
