WORD OF THE DAY:

[Psalm 103:2,5]

2. Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not (one of) all His benefits -

5. Who satisfied your mouth (your necessity and desire, at your own personal age and situation) with good, so that youth, renewed, is like the eagle's (strong, overcoming, soaring)!

MESSAGE OF THE DAY:

PSALM 97, Second section ...

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version)

[Psalm 97:7-12]

7. Let all those be put to shame who serve graven images, who boast in idols. Fall prostrate before Him, all you gods. 

8. Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced (in relief) because of Your judgements, O Lord. 

9. For You Lord, are high above the earth; You are exalted far above all gods. 

10. O you who love the Lord, hate evil; He preserves the lives of His saints (the children of God), He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked. 

11. Light is sown for the (uncompromisingly) righteous, and strewn along their pathway, and joy for the upright in heart (the irrepressible joy which comes from consciousness of His favour and protection).

12. Rejoice in the Lord, you (consistently) righteous (upright and in right standing with God), and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness.
