Worship is our response to God for who He is and what He has done!
Key Verse | Psalm 74:2
Remember that we are the people you chose long ago,
the tribe you redeemed as your own special possession!
And remember Jerusalem, your home here on earth.
Psalm 74:1-11
Psalm 74
A psalm* of Asaph.
1O God, why have you rejected us so long?
Why is your anger so intense against the sheep of your own pasture?
2Remember that we are the people you chose long ago,
the tribe you redeemed as your own special possession!
And remember Jerusalem,* your home here on earth.
3Walk through the awful ruins of the city;
see how the enemy has destroyed your sanctuary.
4There your enemies shouted their victorious battle cries;
there they set up their battle standards.
5They swung their axes
like woodcutters in a forest.
6With axes and picks,
they smashed the carved paneling.
7They burned your sanctuary to the ground.
They defiled the place that bears your name.
8Then they thought, “Let’s destroy everything!”
So they burned down all the places where God was worshiped.
9We no longer see your miraculous signs.
All the prophets are gone,
and no one can tell us when it will end.
10How long, O God, will you allow our enemies to insult you?
Will you let them dishonor your name forever?
11Why do you hold back your strong right hand?
Unleash your powerful fist and destroy them.
This month's memory verse
9 How can a young man keep his way pure?
By guarding it according to your word.
10 With my whole heart I seek you;
let me not wander from your commandments!
11 I have stored up your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you.
