Today, I am reading and commenting on  Psalms 108-116.

Today’s psalms, like the great majority of psalms, tell us to praise God with music and to present his greatness publicly to all who will listen.  The psalmist writes that God’s works are faithful and just, but  I think he means for us to understand that faithfulness and justice are God’s works.  He reminds us that, even in the middle of darkness and evil, God will provide light for those who righteously and graciously follow Him.  The world may be falling apart around us, but good will come to those who are generous and act with justice.  And yet the glory for our actions belongs to God.  I agree with the psalmist that the glory for any good I might do belongs to God.  If you have witnessed me do something which you think is good, give the honor to God because it is only by His grace that I did so.  Any good I may have done in this life is but a pale recompense for the good which God has done for me, and only happened because God’s Spirit caused me to do it.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
