Devotion:
Read Psalm 66.
This is one of many Psalms of praise to God. The heading in my Bible says “For the director of music. A song.” I can just see and hear several members of the orchestra being included in this one as the choir or praise team belts out these lines.
The Psalmist invites “all the earth” to join in singing this song. There is a reminder of what God has done in the past (vs. 6), inviting us all to reflect on how God has seen us through many situations in our life. There have been times of testing (v. 10) but God brought us through those as well. There is renewal of vows to worship and serve God. It’s easy to forget what we promised God at various times in our life. The Psalm ends with a climactic celebration of God’s love.
I invite you to write your own Psalm of praise. What will you include in it? Will it just focus on what God has done for you and your family? How have you seen God at work in the lives of other people, close by and even around the world? What scenes of nature might you include in your Psalm? Most of all, you will want to include what God has done for you and all of us through Jesus Christ.
“Shout for joy to God, all the earth!”
Personal Worship Option:
The Doxology is another great chorus you can use to praise God most anytime: "Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Praise him all creatures here below! Praise him above you heavenly hosts! Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost! Amen!”
