—Psalm 66:1-9, 16-20
by: Cheryl Steele.
Every time I read the first part of Psalm 66, “The Doxology” immediately comes to mind—especially the line, “Praise Him all creatures here below.” That ties right in with verse 4: “All the earth will worship You.” It is certainly our privilege to join with the whole earth in giving God praise. Later, the psalmist reminds us about how important it is for us to confess our sins. God “will not hear” (v.18) the praise we offer for His mighty works if we do not correct the “wickedness” in our hearts. Unconfessed sin always creates a barrier between us and God.
