Daily Bible Reading, November 2022: “God’s Renewing Word of Thankfulness and Praise.”ಮಾದರಿ

November 15

Introduction

It is thought that this psalm was adapted from a prayer of thanksgiving by an individual, perhaps a king, who was delivered by God from danger. Therefore, this psalm is sometimes entitled “A Song of Victory.” The psalm concludes with a description of a liturgical procession and an affirmation of God’s eternal love.

Scripture Reading

Psalm 118

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 118:28

You are my God, and I give you thanks; I will proclaim your greatness.

Reflect

The opening and closing verses of this psalm affirm God’s goodness and enduring love (see also verse 1 of Psalms 106 and 107).For what is the psalm writer thankful? What verses speak of God’s deliverance? The psalm also includes a reference to a procession (verses 19-27). Have you ever participated in any type of religious procession? If so, what was the occasion and where did it take place?

Pray

Praise to you, Lord God! You are always with me and I need not fear. You are mighty and victorious. I give thanks to you because you are good and your love is eternal. You are my God and I will proclaim your greatness. Amen.
