You Alone Are To Be Feared (Psalm 76)

Saturday, April 4th, full One Year Bible readings:
Deuteronomy 26:1-27:26 ~ Luke 10:38-11:13 ~ Psalm 76:1-12 ~ Proverbs 12:15-17

At the time of it's writing, Psalm 76 was no doubt a great song for the faithful worshiper to reflect on the city of Zion - God's dwelling. The nation of Israel enjoyed the special privilege of getting to worship there in that day. It was a place of amazing worship, for God demonstrated His mighty power by protecting and preserving Zion as His Holy dwelling place, and everyone knew it!

⁷ You alone are to be feared.
Who can stand before you when you are angry?

⁸ From heaven you pronounced judgment,
and the land feared and was quiet-

⁹ when you, O God, rose up to judge,
to save all the afflicted of the land.

Psalm 76:7-9

Today, as an act of worship, reflect on the privilege you have as a Christ follower of worshiping, not in a special building, but in Spirit and in Truth (see John 4:20-24). God desires more than a change in our activities; He wants to give us a new heart!
