Notes: August 19, 2008 - Psalms 116 to 118
Bob Feather August 19th, 2008
Psalm 116
Do you love the LORD? Why? (Psalm 116:1)
- Has He listened to you (v 2)?
- Has He saved you from any trouble (v 3-4)?
- Has He been gracious to you (v 5)?
- Has He preserved you (v 6)?
- Has He dealt bountifully with you (v 7)?
- Has He kept you from falling (v 8)?
Why do some people talk about the Lord all the time? Because they believe (Psalm 116:10).
What can you do to show God your appreciation for all of His benefits toward you (v 12-19)
- You can call upon the name of the Lord privately (v 13)
- You can join others in praising God publicly (v 14, 18-19)
- You can be thankful (v 17)
Psalm 117
Praise the Lord because
- His mercy is great
- His truth is forever
Psalm 118
- A personal testimony of how God has helped (v 1-19)
- A pious desire to be in the house of the Lord (v 20-29)
Meditation Points:
- Psalm 118:22-23. New Testament’s interpretation? This is about Jesus, His resurrection and His church! Matthew 21:42; Mark 12:10-11; Luke 20:17; Acts 4:11; Ephesians 2:20-22; 1 Peter 2:4-8.
- This is the day that the Lord has made (Psalm 118:24)-the day of Christ’s victory over death. Yes, what cause for joy!

20And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

1 Peter 2:4-8
4To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
7Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
Psalm 118:24
24This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
