Reasons to Praise the Lord

Psalm 92:1-15

Introduction

This is a simply Psalm, that much like our last one, is very positive, and encouraging. Some Psalms can be challenging, this is not one of those. It is a blessing to those who read it, it is a drink of cool water to the thirsty soul.

I. Forms of Praise - (Psalm 92:1-3)

A. Singing! (1) “And to sing praises”

1. “It is good”

2. Give Thanks unto the LORD

3. Praises – Being thankful, appreciative.

B. Show and Tell (2)

1. Lovingkindness

Romans 5:8 “8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

The King

Psalm 93

Introduction

We have a great description of the King in this Psalm. This Psalm is not given a title, and we have no idea who the writer was. However, it matters not because it’s subject is of eternal value! We are far better knowing the King than the penman.

So it is with great interest we learn about our God tonight! There are truths written here, that we must focus on, and learn.

Aid for the Afflicted

Psalm 94:1-7

Introduction

Psalm 94, like the one before it, has no title, or author listed. However, it is not needed, for it is a timeless Psalm, that transcends a specific problem, person, or place. It is fitting for today, and our needs in our life time. It is fitting for every generation, in all places.

I. Alarm of the Saint (1-7)

A. Recognition of God’s vengeance (1)

1. Vengeance belongs to God!

• • Vengeance - Punishment inflicted in return for an injury or an offense; retribution; — often, in a bad sense, passionate or unrestrained revenge.

  Rom. 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give

Worship

Psalm 95

Introduction

This Psalm effectively defines worship on a long term basis. There is not a Title listed, but it’s author based on a NT passage is David.

Hebrews 4:7 “7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.”

Purpose in Life

Psalm 96

Introduction

Many people go through life, living for what they can get out of life. The problem comes, when you have acquired all you can get out of life, and are still left unfulfilled! When you have accumulated wealth, and you realize that doesn’t bring joy. When you finally have gotten that relationship you have sought after, and realize it isn’t fulfilling. When you get that popularity, but still have the empty feeling inside. When you have risen to the top of your company, or what ever it is you are trying to gain power in, and realize once you have arrived, it is not as satisfying as you thought it would be.

Reminder to God’s People

Psalm 97

Introduction

Verse 1 as is often the case in the Psalms, gives us the scope, and idea of this Psalm. It introduces Jehovah God, as well as the earth beneath him. Gladness is mentioned in this verse, but then is not brought up again until verse 6. Matter of fact, there is quite a contrast, because doom, gloom, and judgement are mentioned in the next 4 verses, before rejoicing is again brought up. In reading that again, it becomes evident, and noticeable.

The Plan for Praise

Psalm 98

Introduction

As I studied it, and outlined it, everything seemed so familiar, and in glancing back, I was able to see the resemblance of Psalm 95. Clearly it is in the Bible twice, and so apparently God thought we needed it twice. The outline is not the same, as the passage is not the same. There are similarities, but it’s layout is indeed unique.

Proper Praise

Psalm 100

Introduction

We have a very well known Psalm. I want to give us some thoughts out of this Psalm. It is a Psalm rightfully titled, a Psalm of Praise. We often think of praise as that of only words. If praise is only words, we end up with empty lip service, and not fully satisfying praise to the Lord.

Isaiah 29:13 - “13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:”

Psalm of Practice

Psalm 101

Introduction

This is an incredible Psalm. A lot of the wisdom of the Proverbs was most certainly taught to Solomon by his father David. And ultimately God multiplied that wisdom for Solomon.

We find a good outline for managing a family, a business, a kingdom, or government. This Psalm has great advice and help for us.

David was considered a man after God’s own heart, and we see a strong sense of purity in this psalm. We see the principles in which David desired to guide his kingdom. David was not perfect, but he certainly had good desires.

What to do when you are overwhelmed

Psalm 102:1-12

Introduction

The Psalmist is overwhelmed here, but not because of a personal problem. It would seem in looking at it all, the Psalmist is concerned primarily with a national issue.

It would do us good, to be so heartbroken, grief stricken over the sin of our country, that we had this kind of a heart!
