Daily Lesson for March 22, 2019

Today’s Daily Lesson comes from Psalm 95 verses 1 through 5:

1 Come, let us sing to the Lord; 

let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.

2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving 

and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.

3 For the Lord is a great God, 

and a great King above all gods.

4 In his hand are the caverns of the earth, 

and the heights of the hills are his also.

5 The sea is his, for he made it, 

and his hands have molded the dry land.

God knows the hills in all their wonder,  excitement, and glorious vision; and God also knows deep and dark places of this earth, places of seclusion, hiding, and fear. “The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof.”  So there is no place where God cannot see, know, find, and guide us. 

The sea is God’s; for God made it. And when the Israelites came to the sea it parted at the command of God. Next they entered the desert, a dry and weary land. Yet God has already poured water down upon that place and buried it beneath the rock within the earth. 

So the people said, “Come, let us sing to the Lord; let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.”

Wherever we are, in the mountains or the valleys, the joyous pinnacles or the deep caverns, it is all in God’s hands. God’s got the whole world in God’s hands. And so we give thanks, and praise; and we do not despair. For God has walked this path before and knows the way to the place where we are going.
