Proclamation:
“Praise awaits You, our God, in Zion; to
You our vows will be fulfilled. You who
answer prayer, to You all people will come.
When we were overwhelmed by sins, You forgave our transgressions. Blessed are those You choose and bring near
to live in Your courts! We are filled
with the good things of Your house, of Your holy temple.” Psalm 65:1-4 (NIV)
Explanation:
The words of this psalm were written by
King David under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God. This psalm is a song of thanksgiving for
spiritual blessings (Psalm 65:1-4) and natural earthly blessings (Psalm
65:5-13) The house of God is a house of
prayer and it is also a house of praise and worship. All of the people of God will come to the
place where He dwells, where His presence can be felt and appreciated. (Psalm
65:1-2) There we will also give thanks
to Him for forgiving us of our transgressions.
All of the elect of God are blessed, but some will enjoy a closer walk
with Him than others. However, all
believers will eventually enjoy the goodness of His presence and the bounty of
His blessing.
Application:
As we go through the trials and storms of
this life, The Lord God hears and answers our prayers, and we should thank and
praise Him daily. We say that we love
The Lord, and if so then we should show it by obeying His Holy Word. Because we asked Him, He has forgiven us of
our many sins and blessed far beyond measure.
He deserves our praise and worship.
The day will soon come when we will be blessed to enjoy the endless
bounty of His presence, riches, and glory.
Our God is an awesome God. (Psalm 65:5-13)
