Good Morning “For Joy Shouters”. Today we are in Psalm 98.
“Sing to The Lord and new song!”
“Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music;”
What are we celebrating that concerns all the earth?
Psalm 98 describes a victory, a salvation, that God won for His people. This victory was a blessing to Israel, but it was known throughout the world. Was the Psalmist speaking prophetically here? Seems likely this Psalm
heralds the arrival of Jesus, who would win victory over sin and offer salvation to the whole world.
Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection made salvation available to all the earth while at the same time revealed the righteousness of God (Psalm 98:2).
Jesus was first preached to Israel before “all the ends of the earth” (Psalm 98:3).
If this Psalm was written sometime during King David’s reign, we’re talking around 1000 years between the Prophecy and the Fulfillment. God always keeps His Word!
God can be trusted! His unchanging character is on full display throughout the Bible. That is why the Bible says that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. (Romans 10:17) When we read about God’s faithfulness and eternal, unchanging holy character, our faith in Him grows. Spending time in the Bible, we learn to trust Him more and more. We can have faith in God and trust His promises because He is trustworthy.
Love you all! Dig in!
