Date: Mar. 22, 2022

Passage

Psalm 99:1-9 (ESV)

  The LORD reigns; let the peoples tremble!
    He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!
  The LORD is great in Zion;
    he is exalted over all the peoples.
  Let them praise your great and awesome name!
    Holy is he!
  The King in his might loves justice.
    You have established equity;
  you have executed justice
    and righteousness in Jacob.
  Exalt the LORD our God;
    worship at his footstool!
    Holy is he!
  Moses and Aaron were among his priests,
    Samuel also was among those who called upon his name.
    They called to the LORD, and he answered them.
  In the pillar of the cloud he spoke to them;
    they kept his testimonies
    and the statute that he gave them.
  O LORD our God, you answered them;
    you were a forgiving God to them,
    but an avenger of their wrongdoings.
  Exalt the LORD our God,
    and worship at his holy mountain;
    for the LORD our God is holy!

Key Verse: 99:9

  Exalt the LORD our God,
    and worship at his holy mountain;
    for the LORD our God is holy!

This psalm praises the LORD our God as the just, righteous and holy King. The LORD God reigns from Zion, his holy mountain, in his temple, between the cherubim (angels). The LORD God is exalted over all the nations. Praise his great and awesome name! The LORD is the mighty King, who loves justice, doing what is just and right. Twice the psalmist calls us to exalt and worship the LORD, for he is holy (5,9).

Moses, Aaron and Samuel stood as intercessors and representatives before God for the people. They called on God and he answered them. God is a forgiving God, though he punishes misdeeds (Heb 12:6). God is still holy, and still worthy of our worship. Exalt the LORD our God and worship him, for he is holy.

Prayer: Prayer: I exalt and praise you, Lord God, for you are the holy King of kings. I praise you that you are a forgiving God. Cleanse me of all sin and enable me to worship and serve you today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

One Word: One Word: Exalt and worship God, who is holy
