An Inclusive Word

(Psa 118:4 KJV)  Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

(Proverbs 21 also read)

There are people who claim that since Psalms was written to the Jews it has no application in our lives today and does not speak to us.  To that I say, “It may have been written to the Jews but it is written for us.”   That takes nothing away from God speaking to Israel.  It just expresses a larger view of God and His word.

Why say that here?  If you look back at the previous verses you will see that first the author speaks to the house of Israel and then to the house of Aaron.  He then extends the promise to everyone who fears the Lord.  That includes me.  I assume it includes you.

So?  Read your Old Testament.  Understand what God was saying to Israel.  Do some more thinking and embrace what He is saying to you.
