5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY PSALM 95

1 Come, let's sing for joy to the Lord. Let's shout praises to the Rock who saves us.

2 Let's come to him with thanksgiving. Let's sing songs to him,

3 because the Lord is the great God, the great King over all gods.

4 The deepest places on earth are his, and the highest mountains belong to him.

5 The sea is his because he made it, and he created the land with his own hands.

6 Come, let's worship him and bow down. Let's kneel before the Lord who made us,

7 because he is our God and we are the people he takes care of and the sheep that he tends. Today listen to what he says:

8 "Do not be stubborn, as your ancestors were at Meribah, as they were that day at Massah in the desert.

9 There your ancestors tested me and tried me even though they saw what I did.

10 I was angry with those people for forty years. I said, 'They are not loyal to me and have not understood my ways.'

11 I was angry and made a promise, 'They will never enter my rest.' "

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
