January 17, 2026, Psalm 149:1-9

149 Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
    his praise in the assembly of the godly!
Let Israel be glad in his Maker;
    let the children of Zion rejoice in their King!
Let them praise his name with dancing,
    making melody to him with tambourine and lyre!
For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;
    he adorns the humble with salvation.
Let the godly exult in glory;
    let them sing for joy on their beds.
Let the high praises of God be in their throats
    and two-edged swords in their hands,
to execute vengeance on the nations
    and punishments on the peoples,
to bind their kings with chains
    and their nobles with fetters of iron,
to execute on them the judgment written!
    This is honor for all his godly ones.
Praise the Lord!

How does worship prepare you for the assignment God has for you? I had never thought of this question, but it makes so much sense. If I am to enter my classroom to teach the children, how much easier God makes my assignment if I have covered the children in prayer and cried out to God to lead my steps. Have you ever realized how our worship prepares us for our assignment?
