Verse of the Day 7/18

Psalm 95:6-7

New King James Version

6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down;

Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
7 a For He is our God,
And we are the people of His pasture,
And the sheep of His hand.

Yesterday we considered how we should be grateful, thankful for every breath that we take, the air that we breath, it is at the core of what sustains us.  We can go without food and water for a few days, but without breath, we'd be done in a few minutes.

God provides us with all that we need.  When we realize this we should take time to bow down, worship Him and praise Him for not only does He provide the things just mentioned, He guides and directs our steps our lives as the shepherd of the sheep of "His pasture".  These thoughts bring me back to Psalm 23 where we see how the Lord provides for us, leads us, makes us lie down and rest, comforts us and pursues us with His love.

If we are thankful for all of this we should praise Him we should worship Him and we should desire that He lead us because we need it.

1. Savior, like a shepherd lead us, much we need Thy tender care;
   In Thy pleasant pastures feed us, for our use Thy folds prepare.
   Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.
   Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.
2. We are Thine, Thou dost befriend us, be the Guardian of our way;
   Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us, seek us when we go astray.
   Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Hear, O hear us when we pray.
   Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Hear, O hear us when we pray.
3. Thou hast promised to receive us, poor and sinful though we be;
   Thou hast mercy to relieve us, grace to cleanse and pow'r to free.
   Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! We will early turn to Thee.
   Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! We will early turn to Thee.
4. Early let us seek Thy favor, early let us do Thy will;
   Blessed Lord and only Savior, with Thy love our bosoms fill.
   Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Thou hast loved us, love us still.
   Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Thou hast loved us, love us still.     (Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us | Dorothy A. Thrupp)
   
   

Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

Blessings,

Psalm 95:1-7

New King James Version

A Call to Worship and Obedience

95 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
3 For the Lord is the great God,
And the great King above all gods.
4 [a]In His hand are the deep places of the earth;
The heights of the hills are His also.
5 The sea is His, for He made it;
And His hands formed the dry land.

6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
7 For He is our God,
And we are the people of His pasture,
And the sheep of His hand.
