Psalm 92<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

This is a psalm written specifically for the Sabbath, so says the inscription. As the psalm is read, we see that God is lifted\u00a0high (1-4), God has judged the wicked (5-9), God gives mercy to those who follow Him (10-11), and mercy will continue throughout eternity (12-15). It anticipates the coming ultimate\u00a0day of rest when the eternal Sabbath rest is ushered in (Hebrews 4.9-11<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Verses 1-4-A call to worship is given by this unknown author. He calls us to declare perpetually the greatness of God. It requires effort to\u00a0do this, and it requires skill to do this. If we notice the worship given on the Sabbath Day requires us to do more than merely walk in, sit down, sing, give, and walk out. We are called to involve ourselves actively during this time (and all times).<\/p>\n

Verses 5-9-God is contrasted with the creation in these verses. He is above all and He is eternal. Creation is simple and brief. Who is like Him? He knows the wicked and disciplines them (this is in contrast to those who follow Him in the next stanza).<\/p>\n

Verses 10-11-In the present, God blesses us with His presence, which is the ultimate blessing.<\/p>\n

Verses 12-15-In the days to come, He will continue steadfastly with those who pursue Him. In old age, there is new life, a flourishing life, a fruitful life, and a life that show others who He is. The palm tree represents long life and the cedar represents strength. In Song of Solomon 7.7-8<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> a palm tree describes a beautiful girl. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As you grow, what fruit do others see in you? How is this evidenced in church?<\/p>\n
