Psalm 98: Glory of the Redeemer and Joy of Creation 0:09 Good morning, and welcome to the OASIS of Praise, as our journey through the book of Psalms continues today. Psalm 98 through 102. Verse 3 of chapter 100, Know that0:21 the Lord, he is God. It is he who has made us and that we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture. Alright, Psalm 98 continues the prophetic message of the previous 20:33 Psalms with a focus on the Messiah. Now Matthew Henry divides this Psalm into 2 parts, which I think aptly describes the chapter. 1st, we have verses 1 through 2, we have the glory of the0:45 Redeemer, and then in verses 4 through 9, we have the joy of the redeemed. Verse 1, 0 sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things. His right hand and his holy arm have0:57 gained him the victory. Now the redemptive work of the Messiah requires a new song as the mystery of God, as Paul talks about, is revealed in Jesus Christ.1:09 And victory literally means salvation. He not only provided the salvation, but He made it known to all the people. Look at verse 2, The Lord has made known His salvation.1:21 His righteousness he has revealed in the sight of the nations. He has remembered his mercy and his faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Remember the1:33 prayers, Lord deliver us so that the world might know. That is a part of the testimony of God. It's all about God. It's all about His name. It's all about His glory. And the question then1:44 becomes, what should the redeemed do? Those who have experienced the salvation of the Lord, which, by the way, has benefited all people, all people, those who believe and those who do not believe still1:56 benefit from the salvation of the Lord. Verse 4, shout joyfully to the Lord all the earth, Break forth in song, rejoice and sing praises. Sing to the Lord with2:08 the harp, with the harp and the sound of a psalm. With the trumpets and the sound of a horn, shout joyfully before the Lord, the King. And, and can you hear behind me?2:20 I'm sure you can. Some of you might email. I know that the, the the the water in the background is making a lot of noise, but that's creation, praising Him, doing what it was intended to do. Let the2:31 sea roar in all its fullness, the world and those who dwell in it. Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the hills be joyful together before the Lord. Why is2:43 creation praising God? Why is this stream praising God? For He is coming to judge the earth. With righteousness He shall judge the world, all the peoples with equity.2:56 Creation. We've talked about this before. Creation itself groans under the penalty and the consequences of the sin of man. Paul writes about this in Romans chapter 8. He said, verse3:08 20, For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it in hope. Because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage3:20 of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Justice3:32 for all is coming. Alright. Psalm 99 continues this praise of God, but its focus is on the old covenant with Israel. Verse 1, The3:43 Lord reigns let the people tremble. He dwells between the cherubim. Let the earth be moved. The Lord is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples. Let them praise your great and awesome awesome name. He is holy.3:56 The King's strength also loves justice. You have established equity. You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob. Now notice once again the focus on the government of God.4:08 God. Alright? The government of God is focused on what? Justice, which is what establishes equality. So how do you achieve equality? Well,4:20 you know there's a lot of clamoring today for equality, for justice. We hear it as social justice. And in fact, we should not dismiss these calls. Even though they may be misguided in their focus, in their means of4:31 pursuing this justice and equity, justice and righteousness, as we've read before, are the foundations of God's throne or His government. And they, they4:43 are the key. They are the keys to justice and equity. So if a government wants to have justice, equity, guess what? It needs to follow God's guidance. Verse 5, exalt the Lord4:55 our God in worship at his footstool he is holy. Moses and Aaron were among his priests, and Samuel among those who called upon his name. They called upon the Lord and he answered them. He spoke to them in a5:07 cloudy pillar. They kept His testimonies and the ordinance He gave them. You answered them, O Lord our God. You were to them God who forgives, though you took vengeance on5:19 their deeds. Jehovah our God, the God who forgives our sin but does not ignore it. He doesn't ignore it. He forgives it through Jesus Christ.5:31 Psalm 100 is actually 1 of my favorites. This is a universal call to thank and praise God, the creator, the sustainer, and the savior. A5:43 Psalm of Thanksgiving, make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands. Serve the Lord with gladness. Come before His presence with singing. Know that the Lord, He is God. It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves.5:55 We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good, his mercyPsalm 99: God's Holy Justice and Equity 6:07 is everlasting, and his truth endures to all generations. Now, 3 actions we're called to take here: serve the Lord with gladness, know the Lord in6:19 his fullness, and thank the Lord with praise. Why? He is the Existing 1, Jehovah. He made us. We did not make ourselves. We do not6:31 choose our own gender. He made us. He sustains us. We are the sheep of His pasture. He cares for us. He is good, or He is really the definition of goodness. His6:43 mercy is everlasting. His truth extends to all generations. If you know Him, you'll serve Him and you will live with a heart of gratitude that will6:55 transform every aspect of your life. We need to nurture, we need to nurture a heart of gratitude, entering into the presence of God with thanksgiving. Psalm7:06 101 is a plan for righteous leadership in the government of man. It is suggested that David wrote this as a solemn vow to the Lord as he ascended to the throne. Now there's7:18 also, as we've seen with many of these Psalms, a prophetic aspect to this. David was unable to live according to this righteous standard that's contained in this Psalm, but7:30 Jesus did. And He will ultimately sit on David's throne. Now here is the reality. We have a fallen nature. Sin is in our very DNA. YouPsalm 100: Universal Call to Gratitude 7:41 know, like the the hymn, Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing, No matter how hard we try, we are prone to wander. Prone to wonder, Lord, I feel7:53 it. Prone to leave the God I love. Take my heart, oh take and seal it, with thy Spirit from above. We must have the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit active in our8:05 lives. That's why Paul says, Be filled with the Spirit, not with wine, which is a waste, but be filled with the Spirit. Verse 1, a Psalm of David, I will sing of mercy and justice to you, O Lord. I will sing praises.8:17 I will behave wisely in a perfect way. Oh, when will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. I will set nothing wicked before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall8:28 away. It shall not cling to me. A perverse heart shall depart from me. I will not know wickedness. Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy. The 1 who has a haughty look and a proud8:40 heart, him I will not endure. My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he shall serve me. He who walks this who he who works8:52 deceit shall not dwell in my house. He who tells lies shall not continue in my presence. Early, I will destroy all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off all the evildoers from the city of thePsalm 101: Vow for Righteous Rule 9:04 Lord. Now Psalm 102 is a lament as the psalmist, and some believe it was David, pours out his heart to God and then regains his footing based upon the9:16 sovereign purposes of God and the fact that God is unchanging. A prayer of the afflicted when he is overwhelmed and pours unchanging. A prayer of the afflicted when he is overwhelmed and pours out his complaint before9:25 the Lord, hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come to you. Do not hide your face from me in the day of my trouble. Incline your ear to me in the day that I call. Answer me speedily.9:37 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned like a hearth. My heart is stricken and withered like grass, so I forget to eat my bread. Notice here the9:49 understanding once again of the shortness of our time on this earth. My days are verse 11. My days are like a shadow that lengthens, and I wither away like grass. But10:01 You, O Lord, shall endure forever, and the remembrance of Your name to all generations. I think the message here once again we see10:13 is live in light of eternity. Our life is here today, gone tomorrow. God is forever, ever. He's outside of time and space. If we want something to last, we need to10:25 be connected to the everlasting God. Verse 24, I said, Oh my God, do not take me away in the midst of my days. Your years are throughout all generations of old. You have laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens10:36 are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, they will all grow old like a garment, like a cloak. You will change them, the new heaven and earth, and they will be changed. But you are the same,10:48 and your years will have no end. The children of your servants will continue, and their descendants will be established before you. The promises of God will be fulfilled because God is10:59 everlasting. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Father, we thank you for your Word. And Lord, as these Psalms, as we read them and they record the11:11 praise that is due your name, and Lord, as we were reminded this morning, even creation praises you. The water as it is rushing over these rocks, this is not noise.11:24 This is a joyful noise praising You because it is doing what it was created to do. And I pray Father that we would add our voices to that, that we would praise You, we would worship You, we would serve11:36 You, And we would know You, Lord, in the fullness of who You are as we walk in the forgiveness of our sins through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Lord, use us today11:48 to touch the lives of someone else. And may Your joy bubble up within us. And may we walk with grateful hearts that it might transform every aspect of our lives. For we pray and ask this in Jesus'11:59 name, amen.
