中心思想: | 詩篇98篇 |
提要
在詩篇中,可能沒有別的詩像今天讀的這六首一樣,那麼生動的描繪出上帝值得讚美的屬性。上帝在祂的公義裡(詩98),在祂極有權柄的寶座上(詩99),在祂永恆的愛裡(詩100),希望也值得祂百姓的讚美與崇拜。了解了上帝的屬性,詩人遂矢志順服祂(詩101),傾倒他全然的倚靠(詩102),並為上帝豐富的祝福呈獻感恩(詩103)。 |

每日與主同行
請你注意詩篇九十八篇四節(重覆了詩100:1),你不需要譜下美麗和諧的音符,只要發出對上帝的歡呼喜樂即可。即使只是一首單音的讚美詩也可以!
詩篇九十八篇的作者深知讚美上帝的意義,你是否已學到這個秘訣?當上帝使你生命有所改變,當你為祂奇妙的作為喃喃致謝時,該怎樣表達你的喜樂?怎麼對上帝說「感謝祢」,才能與祂的威嚴、榮美相襯?
回答如下:可以唱!「你們要向耶和華唱新歌……全地都要向耶和華歡樂,要發起大聲,歡呼歌頌,要用琴歌頌耶和華,用琴和詩歌的聲音歌頌祂!」(98:1,4,5)讓一首讚美詩歌陪伴你一整天!
今天可用幾分鐘唱一些你喜愛的詩歌,一面唱一面思想每一節的意義,就會一整天都有一首歌在你心中了! |
默想
讚美的良性循環
詩篇一百零三篇中,大衛設計了一個「讚美的循環」,在這個循環裡,全宇宙一致發出對上帝的讚美。從個人開始(1-5),到以色列民(6-18),接著是天使諸軍(19-22),最後,大衛以該詩的開始:「我的心啊!你要稱頌耶和華。」(1,22)作為結束。 |
金言
在擁有無數恩典的地方,讚美永遠不嫌太多! |

6/19/2009 A Joyful Noise (Psalm 98) |
Scriptures: | Psalm 98-103 |
Heart of the Passage: | Psalm 98 |
Overview
Perhaps no other six psalms in the Psalter picture God's praiseworthy character as graphically as the ones in today's reading. God in His righteousness (98), in His exalted place of authority (99), and in His enduring love (100) demands and deserves admiration and ado¬ration by His people. In view of God's character, the psalmist pledges his obedience (101), expresses his dependence (102), and acknowledges his gratitude for God's rich blessings (103). |

Your Daily Walk
You'll notice in Psalm 98:4 (and again in 100:1) that you are not required to make beautiful music, but only a joyful noise to the Lord. Even monotones can praise the Lord in song!
The writer of Psalm 98 knew what rejoicing in the Lord meant. Have you learned his secret? When God has done some¬thing wonderful in your life, when you are bubbling over with appreciation for His mighty deeds, how can you express your joy? How can you say "thank you" to God in a way that befits His majesty and splendor?
Answer: You can sing! "O sing unto the Lord a new song. . . . Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, ... Sing unto the LORD with ... the voice of a psalm" (w. 1, 4-5). One thing you can take with you throughout the day is a song.
Today spend the next few minutes singing some of your favorite hymns. Think about each verse as you sing it. You'll have a song in your heart all day! |
Insight
Praise Expressed Full-Circle
In Psalm 103, David constructs a "circle of praise" in which the entire universe breaks forth in a doxology to God:
Finally, David ends where he began: "Bless the Lord, O my soul."

Adage
Where the benefits received are infinite, the praises cannot be too extravagant. |
