 Topic: Prayer and Praise

Hello Monday!

Ps 65:1

Praise awaits you, our God, in Zion; to your our vows will be fulfilled. 

Zion is Jerusalem. Mount Zion is the high hill on which David built a citadel. It is on the southeast side of the city. The word Zion occurs over 150 times in the Bible. It essentially means “fortification” and has the idea of being “raised up” as a “monument.”.

The writer tells God....Praise awaits you...Come and enjoy Lord.

our vows will be fulfilled.

He praises on a high hill and on this hill sits the citadel and it is the monument. It is the first thing that people notice. It is the thing that defines Zion. Naturally praise is there and the people fulfill their vows there. 

Ps 66:2

Sing the glory of his name, make his praise glorious. 

Ps 66:8

Praise our God, all peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard; he has preserved our lives and our feet from slipping. 

Thanks to God for his

1. his faithfulness

2. his voice

3. his spirit (always helping)

4. the way he takes care of us

Have a wonderful day!
