Year 5, Day 228: Psalm 95

Theological Commentary: Click Here


Discipleship Focus: Invitation

  • Invitation: God is always inviting us into relationship with Him. He desires that we know Him and that we know His desire for us.

Psalm 95 is a great psalm of joy.  It is easy to look at God and bask in His sheer and utter awesomeness.  It is easy to see God’s incredible power and lift up praise to Him in worship.  That’s what we are called to do.

The heart of this psalm is the invitation.  God wants relationship with us.  He could judge the hardness of our hearts as He judged that wicked generation in the wilderness.  But He wants so much more from us than that.  He wants us to be in relationship with Him.

This is really an awesome thought, and it drives this psalm.  The creator of the world wants to be in relationship with us.  The one who hands dive into the depths of the earth wants to know you and wants you to know Him.  The one who knows all that happens in the sea wants you to know Him as much as He knows you.  He invites us to be His people.  He invites us to be sheep in His pasture.  We can be His, and that should give us every reason to sing His praise!
