Psalm 65
-Theme: The provision of God and thankfulness of His many blessings.
-*Application* The greatest gift of God is His presence and relationship in one’s life. Through His propitiation He brings us near in a union that will never die (Hebrews 2:17, 1 John 2:2; 4:10, Ephesians 4:30, John 10:28-29). His most awesome deed is His salvation that He imputes to us through faith in Jesus Christ (Psalm 32:2; 65:5). His power is displayed in nature clearly as well and even it worships Him. Let all the nations know of His greatness!
Psalm 66
-Theme: God is to be praised for His powerful works and answers the prayers of His people.
-*Application* All the earth will worship the LORD. How great it is for those who give Him honor and exaltation of their own accord and desire. He keeps us in life and does allow our feet to slip. Even though we will be tried and tested, we will shine forth as gold (1 Peter 1:7). He will come to the aid of His people and restore them. Blessed be the One who hears us when we call out to Him. However, if we regard (cherish) wickedness (sin) in our heart, the LORD will not hear (respond).
