148. Continued. All creatures on the earth obey God and praise Him! Huge sea creatures, lightning, hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, praise the Lord! All mountains, hills, trees, wild animals and livestock, reptiles and birds, praise the Lord! Kings, princes, men and women, young and old, praise the Lord! Let all creation praise God alone. God's glory is greater than heaven and earth. He has lifted up His people in strength, He protects them because they are His. Praise the Lord!
149. The Lord's Love of Israel. Those who love God sing a new song to the Lord in your assembly. Let Israel rejoice and praise His name with dancing and music. Be glad for the Lord delights in His people, rejoice in this honor. With a song in their mouth and a sword in their hand, take revenge and punish the nations and kings, carry out their punishment. This is the privelege of God's faithful people. Praise the Lord!
150. Let Every Thing Praise the Lord! Praise God in His temple and in heaven. Praise Him for all He's done. Praise God with trumpets, harps, tambourines and dancing, with stringed instruments and flutes, with cymbals, with clashing cymbals. Let everything that breathes praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!
POVERBS
Words to live by. Written by Solomon, son of David, king of Israel. There's something for everyone.
God is the beginning of wisdom, only evil people reject wisdom and good advice. Listen to your parents! They know something about life. Don't be seduced by wicked people who just want company while they live their wicked lives and do evil things. The life you take or the goods you steal will haunt you and make your life misery.
Wisdom raises her voice where people gather and asks those people who are inclined to evil how long will they go on being stupid fools? How long will they continue sneering at knowledge? Wisdom continues to try to help you, but you refuse her help. So when your life gets hard, you're on your own. You will get what you deserve because you refused to respect the Lord. You get to choose: wisdom and safety or sin and self-satisfaction and death.
Dear Son,
If you listen for the wisdom in my words, and apply your heart to understanding, and ask for insight, cry aloud for discernment, seek as for hidden treasure, then you will find the knowledge of God. The Lord gives wisdom, knowledge and helps you understand. He protects His people who follow His commandments and do His will. He will watch over you and guide you so you will know what is good, fair and just.
Tomorrow read Proverbs 2:10-5:14
