Psalms 95:1-8a

Oh come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving. Let us  shout joyfully to Him with psalms. For the Lord is the great God, and the great King above all gods.

In His Hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the hills are His also.

The sea is His, for He made it; and His Hands formed the dray land.

Oh, come let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker.

for He is our God, and we are the people of HIs pasture, and the sheep of His Hand.

Today, if you will hear HIs voice do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.

Devotion.

Let us worship out Creator God, for He alone deserves our worship, praise and adoration.

Also let us love and seek the Lord God with all our heart, soul and mind, and we will find Him.

And when we hear His voice, read His Holy Scriptures, let us not harden our heart and be rebellious.

But, instead, seek the Lord so we can find Him, worship Him, serve Him, and accept Jesus as our Saviour and Lord

He died to set a sinner free.
