Reading Leviticus 8 I was struck by how many times the
phrase “as the Lord commanded him” is repeated. It is very clear that
everything in this chapter happens under God’s direction. Moses and the people
of Israel
When we want to live fully for God and consecrate our
lives, every area of our lives and every details within that matters to God.
Let us seek God’s guidance and direction by His Holy Spirit every day afresh
and be listening out for Him to speak into our lives – either through his
written word or in other ways.
And what a wonderful God we have. Psalm 9 reminds us of
that. Even when facing “enemies“ or adverse situations, we can trust that God
is righteous and reigns with justice. He is a “refuge for the oppressed” and a
“stronghold in times of trouble”. He will not forget the needy. Let our
response be like that of the psalmist: to praise God with all my heart and tell
of His wonderful deeds!
PS: In my study bible it says “The praise of God in the
Psalter is rarely a private matter between the psalmist and the Lord. It is
usually a public (in the temple) celebration of God’s holy virtues or of his
saving acts or gracious bestowal of blessings”.
