Psalm 22:16 -18
16 Dogs have surrounded me;
a band of evil men has encircled me,
they have pierced my hands and my feet.
a band of evil men has encircled me,
they have pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I can count all my bones;
people stare and gloat over me.
people stare and gloat over me.
18 They divide my garments among them
and cast lots for my clothing.
and cast lots for my clothing.
Throughout the Old Testament, there are many references to Christ and all that he goes through. This may or not be one of them. If not, it is a striking similarity. I love how God reminds us again, and again of what he will do for us. How Christ will love us enough to endure the most humiliating and horrific actions so we won't.
25 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;
before those who fear you will I fulfill my vows.
before those who fear you will I fulfill my vows.
26 The poor will eat and be satisfied;
they who seek the LORD will praise him—
may your hearts live forever!
they who seek the LORD will praise him—
may your hearts live forever!
27 All the ends of the earth
will remember and turn to the LORD,
and all the families of the nations
will bow down before him,
will remember and turn to the LORD,
and all the families of the nations
will bow down before him,
28 for dominion belongs to the LORD
and he rules over the nations.
and he rules over the nations.
Praise always surrounds whatever God does for us. So today, don't forget to praise him for what he did for you.
Happy iFellowship day!
