October 15, 2025, Psalm 76:1-12

76 In Judah God is known;
    his name is great in Israel.
² His abode has been established in Salem,
    his dwelling place in Zion.
³ There he broke the flashing arrows,
    the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah

⁴ Glorious are you, more majestic
    than the mountains full of prey.
⁵ The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;
    they sank into sleep;
all the men of war
    were unable to use their hands.
⁶ At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
    both rider and horse lay stunned.

⁷ But you, you are to be feared!
    Who can stand before you
    when once your anger is roused?
⁸ From the heavens you uttered judgment;
    the earth feared and was still,
⁹ when God arose to establish judgment,
    to save all the humble of the earth. Selah

¹⁰ Surely the wrath of man shall praise you;
    the remnant of wrath you will put on like a belt.
¹¹ Make your vows to the Lord your God and perform them;
    let all around him bring gifts
    to him who is to be feared,
¹² who cuts off the spirit of princes,
    who is to be feared by the kings of the earth.

How has God proven his strength to you?  When has He brought you peace that is beyond understanding?  Think about how God has protected you and shown love to you?  How are you showing your commitment to Him?
