Devotional: Psalm 76

Today’s passage: Psalm 76

Helpful thoughts:

  • Salem and Zion both refer to Jerusalem.
  • The God who is to be feared by all kings and nations around the world, is the who made Himself known to and who will dwell with His people Israel.
  • The LORD is to be feared.  Right fear of the Lord produces a change of heart and actions.
    • “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” – Proverbs 1:7

Questions to consider:

  1. Who is God?  Why is it only right and only acceptable to have a right fear of Him?  What would a person be taking for granted if they made a vow to God and didn’t keep it?
  2. How do you rightly balance God’s love, mercy and grace with His holiness, righteousness, and justice?  Why is Christ’s substitutionary sacrifice such a joy and freedom for Christians?  How could we take all this grace for granted and treat God like a pushover, like our sin isn’t a big deal?
  3. How can a healthy fear of God be rightly added to motivations of love, gratitude, future gracious promises, etc. for a Christian to pursue righteousness in this life?
