The Psalmist says, “I will exalt You, O Lord, for You lifted me out of the depths” (Psalm 30:10.
In Leviticus 11-12, there is a great emphasis on the need for
cleansing. In Christ, we have been cleansed. We exalt Him because He has
lifted us out of the darkness of our sin. The Psalmist says, “O Lord,
You brought me up from the grave” (Psalm 30:3). Jesus speaks of “the resurrection” (Mark 12:23).
He is looking beyond His resurrection. He is speaking of our
resurrection. We will be raised in Him. We will be raised to eternal
life.
Psalm 48:1-14 Lord, we worship You in the place of worship – “Within Your Temple, we meditate on Your unfailing love.” Help us to go out from there, and play our part in seeing that Your praise “reaches to the ends of the earth” (Psalm 48:: 9-11). How will other people know of Your love, if we don’t tell them? How will they find their way to Your House, if we don’t invite them? When we share Your Word with others, help us to remember Your promise: “My Word … will not return to Me empty, but will … achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).
