🔥 Psalms 48

Psalms 48 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of Yahweh of Armies, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah.” Psalms 48 opens with these words: “Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.” The line to keep is Psalms 48:9: “We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the middle of your temple.” Carry the word “thought” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Psalms 48:9: “We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the middle of your temple.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Psalms 48? Then try this: Read “We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the middle of your temple.” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
