10-23-25   THOUGHTS

In this reading, the verbiage “O LORD, I love the habitation of Your house And the place where Your glory dwells...”  and  “My foot stands on a level place; In the congregations I shall bless the LORD...”  stands out!  The idea is “WHERE GOD IS!”  Where GOD’S “GLORY dwells!”  GOD has always been where His people are! Luke 2:49 “And He said to them, "Why is it that you were looking for Me?  Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s [house?]”  

Ps 26:2-12    Examine me, O LORD, and try me; Test my mind and my heart.  3  For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth. 4  I do not sit with deceitful men, Nor will I go with pretenders (hypocrites, ESV, NIV).  5  I hate the assembly of evildoers, And I will not sit with the wicked. 6  I shall wash my hands in innocence, And I will go about Your altar, O LORD, 7  That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving And declare all Your wonders. 8  O LORD, I love the habitation of Your house And the place where Your glory dwells. 9  Do not take my soul away along with sinners, Nor my life with men of bloodshed,  10  In whose hands is a wicked scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes.  11  But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious to me. 12  My foot stands on a level place; In the congregations I shall bless the LORD.

Our Prayer:
May we bless Your name in the Congregation, O Lord.   Thank you for dwelling in the midst of Your people.  We stand on level ground because of Your grace, mercy and love.  Your loving kindness is always before us.  Redeem us and be gracious to us, O God.  In Jesus’ name,   Amen.
