Daily Bible Reading – May 2021 God’s Word of Spiritual Renewal

DAY 14 OF 31

May 14

Introduction

Today’s reading is a psalm proclaiming that God is our supreme ruler. It is a celebratory hymn in praise of God’s kingship and was probably used in some form of liturgical procession.

Today’s Scripture Reading: Psalm 47

Today’s Key Verse:  Psalm 47:7

God is king over all the world; praise him with songs!

Reflect

Psalm 47 was most likely used as a liturgical hymn in connection with a worship festival. Christians associate this psalm with Jesus’ ascension into heaven, and Jewish people associate this psalm with Rosh-ha-Shanah, the beginning of the new year. Reread verses 1-7. What are worshipers instructed to do? How are festival occasions celebrated in your community of faith?


Pray

Sovereign God, your reign is eternal. With my whole being I praise your holy name. With a song in my heart I joyfully proclaim your love for all people. You are king over all the world. Reign in my heart, Lord God! Amen.
