Shalom, 

In today's Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan we have Psalm 65 and here are a few of my favorite verses this time around! We start out with this describing this Psalm and I LOVE it!

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A song.

David would sing this! I hope that are learning to or have learned to sing your own praises to the King of all kings! He is SO worthy, and singing causes us to connect with Him on a more personal level! Stir up that JOY that was placed inside of you by the Spirit of God at your New Birth! Begin with verse 1!

1 To You belongs silence (the submissive wonder of reverence which bursts forth into praise) and praise is due and fitting to You, O God, in Zion; and to You shall the vow be performed.

TRUE reverence of the Lord WILLL cause you to burst forth in praise! Try it! Then verses 4-8  show us how that looks!

4 Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man whom You choose and cause to come near, that he may dwell in Your courts! We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple. 5 By fearful and glorious things [that terrify the wicked but make the godly sing praises] do You answer us in righteousness (rightness and justice), O God of our salvation, You Who are the confidence and hope of all the ends of the earth and of those far off on the seas; 6 Who by [Your] might have founded the mountains, being girded with power, 7 Who still the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples, 8 So that those who dwell in earth’s farthest parts are afraid of [nature’s] signs of Your presence. You make the places where morning and evening have birth to shout for joy.

Did you notice that "fearful and glorious things accomplished by GOD and celebrated by US cause the enjemy to be TERRIFIED, but US to sing praise! HALLELUJAH! Then verses 9-13 show how our GOD responds to the praises of HIS people! 

9 You visit the earth and saturate it with water; You greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; You provide them with grain when You have so prepared the earth. 10 You water the field’s furrows abundantly, You settle the ridges of it; You make the soil soft with showers, blessing the sprouting of its vegetation. 11 You crown the year with Your bounty and goodness, and the tracks of Your [chariot wheels] drip with fatness. 12 The [luxuriant] pastures in the uncultivated country drip [with moisture], and the hills gird themselves with joy. 13 The meadows are clothed with flocks, the valleys also are covered with grain; they shout for joy and sing together.

Our PRASIES give God access to our lives to pour more BLESSINGS, that bring more PRAISES! What a wonderful and glorious cycle! Let's continually cultivate THAT! God is GLORIFIED! WE are BLESSED! And the world will KNOW WHO HE IS! HALLELUJAH! Here is Hillsong with "Crown The Year":

Shalom in Him!
