Day 29 – Psalm 92

“A senseless man does not know…” Psalm 92:6a

TAKING TIME TO UNDERSTAND THE WORKS OF GOD

One good practice to cultivate on the Sabbath day is to take time to ponder the works of God. Not everyone can easily understand and appreciate the thoughts and the work of God.

“A senseless man does not know,
Nor does a fool understand this.
When the wicked spring up like grass,
And when all the workers of iniquity flourish,
It is that they may be destroyed forever.”
Psalm 92:6-7
