Holy is God!

Psalm 99
This morning’s Psalm is a great way to start one’s day. It reminds us that God is sovereign. It calls us to put our praise and worship not in things, not in ourselves, but in God alone. It reminds us that God wants justice and equity. But there is another aspect of this Psalm that is fascinating. It appears that it could have been used in worship as an antiphonal reading. The Psalmist praises God and then calls on the people to praise God and their response throughout the Psalm is “Holy is he!” When you realize this and read it this way, it makes a lot of sense. Psalm 99 is a great call to worship. And to read it everyday would be a good reminder to us that God is God and we are God’s people.
