January 27, 2013 – Psalms 132 – 134
 
In 132 we see a Psalm about the promises to David. Because we have jus tread about Solomon and what happens after him, it is covenant to have that information when looking at this Psalm. David is promised that if his sons follow God, their kingdom will last. But even if that doesn’t happen, he is told that “I will set a lamp for my anointed”. In 1 Kings we saw that God did not take all the Kingdom from Solomon but left him 2 of the tribes so that a light of David would always be shining. We see a direct connection between the promise to Solomon and the promise in this Psalm.
 
I am reading Psalm 134 during my adoration hour which is Thursday mornings from 1-2 AM. This Psalm, or at least this verse, should be posted on the door for those that do hours between 10 PM and 5AM. “Bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord who stand in the house of the Lord through the long hours of the night.” This is a comforting verse to read at 1:55 in the morning when you are in the presence of God.
