Psalm 114 & 115 - Day 930 (link to reading)
Scripture: Psalm 115:9-11 Commentary (enduringword.org): Psalm 115 is a continuation of the collection of the Egyptian Hallel psalms (Psalms 113-118) sung by the Jews during their Passover celebrations. It therefore makes up part of the hymns which would have been sung by Jesus and His disciples on the night He was betrayed and arrested, the night before His crucifixion (Matthew 26:30 and Mark 14:26). It is especially meaningful to consider this psalm in the heart and on the lips of Jesus during those great moments. Regarding the structure of this psalm, James Montgomery Boice observed: “The opinion of the majority of scholars is that the psalm is liturgical, intended to be sung by alternating groups of worshipers: the priests, the high priest, the people, and so on.” Application: He (The Lord) is your helper and your shield. Jesus is the Son of God, who was fully human. Meaning he was susceptible to fear and anxiety like us. Hence, he could have found comfort in repeating this sentence, also like us. Prayer: Lord, thank you for showing us the way... Comments are closed.
