Daily Bible Reading: November 2021, God’s Word of Praise and ThanksgivingSample
November 23
Introduction
In today’s psalm, a full orchestra of musical instruments is to be joined by a full choir of voices, as “all living creatures” join the song of praise. Every verse begins with and includes the word “praise” and the word appears thirteen times.
Today’s Scripture Reading
Psalm 150
Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 150:6
Praise the LORD, all living creatures! Praise the LORD!
Reflect
Music and musical instruments are mentioned frequently in the Bible, but unfortunately, no actual melodies are preserved, and we can only guess at the exact sounds of the instruments. What instruments are mentioned in today’s psalm? What kinds of music are most helpful to you in praising God? What does it mean to you to make a joyful noise unto the Lord?
Pray
Praise the LORD! Lord God, I praise you for all the mighty things you have done. May the joyful noises I make be pleasing to you. Give me the confidence to sing, dance, and play boldly in my worship of you. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Church musicians and choirs
Tomorrow’s Reading
Psalm 66: A psalm in praise of God’s deeds.
