Devotional: Psalm 47

Today’s passage: Psalm 47

Helpful thoughts:

  • God is not great because we praise Him.  He is great and so we are right to praise Him.
    • He is the Lord Most High, He is to be feared.
  • All peoples are to join in this praise.  This psalm calls the Jews and all Gentiles together in praise.
  • Our praise to God is not a compulsory chore.  God has chosen to give us an inheritance!  We praise Him because He is worthy and because He has given us reason for joy!

Questions to consider:

  1. Sinclair Ferguson said, “When you have a superficial view of sin, you will have a superficial view of grace.”  How can an overblown view of ourselves steal away our ability to enjoy and praise God?
  2. What are some reasons that God is worthy of all worship?  Which of His attributes amaze you the most?
  3. In what way does Jesus and the Gospel message give us specific reason to be thankful for our inheritance and cause us to rejoice?
