Proclamation:
“Let those who love The Lord hate evil … Light
shines on the righteous and joy on the upright in heart. Rejoice in The Lord, you who are righteous,
and praise His holy name.” Psalm
97:10-12 (NIV)
Explanation:
The words of this psalm are thought to
have been written by King David under the influence of The Holy Spirit of
God. It presents the same subject and argument
as the preceding psalm, the coming of the kingdom of Christ. This psalm provides descriptive imagery
regarding the coming of The Lord. It
ends with a focus of the light of The Lord shining on the righteous.
Application:
Those of us who love The Lord cannot also
love the things which The Lord hates. We
cannot serve two masters. (Matthew 6:24)
Believers love The Lord and must walk in the light and let His light
shine through us for the world to see. (John 8:12, Matthew 5:16, and 1 John 1:7) He will show us the way, guide our feet and a
light unto our pathway, if we follow His word. (Psalm 119:105) Blessings are in store for those of us who
are upright in heart. So, let us rejoice
in The Lord and praise His holy and righteous name. He is coming back.
