2024 31-Day Praising Day 2:

"Come, Let Us Sing for Joy to the Lord" (Psalm 95:1-7a)
(Memorization Scripture 1-3)

1 Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before Him with thanksgiving
and extol Him with music and song.
3 For the Lord is the great God,
the great King above all gods.
4 In His hand are the depths of the earth,
and the mountain peaks belong to Him.
5 The sea is His, for He made it,
and His hands formed the dry land.
6 Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
7a For He is our God
and we are the people of His pasture,
the flock under His care.

Reflection:
"Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation! Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song!" At the start of this new day, is your heart stirred by the psalmist’s invitation to join in praising the Lord? Does your spirit awaken early, rejoicing and singing to Him in thanksgiving and praise? We are called to sing and shout for joy to Him because "the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods." He is not only the Almighty Creator but also "our God"—the Rock of our salvation. The ultimate reason for our worship and praise is His identity: He is God, our God, and He alone is worthy of all praise in heaven and on earth. "Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker!" While we practice "making joyful noises" and offering unrestrained and heartfelt praise, we must also come with a heart of reverence, bowing in worship and praising Him in spirit and truth. Let us remember not only that He is our God but also that "we are the people of His pasture, the flock under His care."

2024 讚美月 Day 2：

「來啊，我們要向耶和華歌唱」 （詩篇 95:1-7a ）
（背誦1-3節）

1 來啊，我們要向耶和華歌唱，
向拯救我們的磐石歡呼！
2 我們要來感謝祂，
用詩歌向祂歡呼！
3 因耶和華為大神，為大王，
超乎萬神之上。
4 地的深處在祂手中，
山的高峰也屬祂。
5 海洋屬祂，是祂造的，
旱地也是祂手造成的。
6 來啊，我們要屈身敬拜，
在造我們的耶和華面前跪下！
7a 因為祂是我們的 神，
我們是祂草場的羊，是祂手下的民。

【心得分享】「 來啊，我們要向耶和華歌唱，向拯救我們的磐石歡呼！我們要來感謝祂，用詩歌向祂歡呼！」在新一天的開始，你的心是否被詩人邀請我們一同來讚美祂的呼召所激動，並且你的靈也因此就早早地醒起，在感謝和讚美中開始向祂歡呼、歌唱？我們應當向祂歌唱、歡呼，因為「耶和華為大神，為大王，超乎萬神之上」，同時祂也是「我們的 神」、是「拯救我們的磐石」。我們敬拜和讚美祂，最根本理由就是祂是 神、是我們的 神，並且祂配得天上、地上一切的頌讚！「來啊，我們要屈身敬拜，在造我們的耶和華面前跪下！」在我們操練向祂「歡呼」（making joyful noises）、自由並盡情的讚美時，也當帶著「屈身敬拜」的心，以誠以靈讚美和敬拜祂，不僅記念祂是我們的 神，也當記念「我們是祂草場的羊，是祂手下的民」。
