Psalm 5:11-12
Welcome to Online Bible Studies
Today’s Bible verse is
Psalms 5:11-12 (NIV)
11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. 12 For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
Let’s read the verse in context:
Psalms 5:1-12 (NIV)
1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing. 2 Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. 3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. 4 You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell. 5 The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong. 6 You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the LORD abhors. 7 But I, by your great mercy, will come into your house; in reverence will I bow down toward your holy temple. 8 Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies– make straight your way before me. 9 Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit. 10 Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you. 11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. 12 For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
Today’s Quiet Time with God
I like the idea of being surrounded by God’s favor and in His blessing! This favor and blessing is available to all who take refuge in Him. Jesus is our refuge and we find refuge in Him as we accept and believe all that He has done for us at the cross. We are encouraged by this verse to be glad and sing for joy. Take a few minutes today to sing for joy to the Lord, you will be blessed as you do!

Psalms 118:24
Welcome to Online Bible Studies
Today’s Bible verse is
Psalms 118:24 (NIV)
24 This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Let’s read the verse in context:
Psalms 118:19-29 (NIV)
19 Open for me the gates of righteousness; I will enter and give thanks to the LORD. 20 This is the gate of the LORD through which the righteous may enter. 21 I will give you thanks, for you answered me; you have become my salvation. 22 The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone; 23 the LORD has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes. 24 This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. 25 O LORD, save us; O LORD, grant us success. 26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. From the house of the LORD we bless you. 27 The LORD is God, and he has made his light shine upon us. With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession up to the horns of the altar. 28 You are my God, and I will give you thanks; you are my God, and I will exalt you. 29 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Today’s Quiet Time with God
I think today’s verse is a great way to start the week. It is a reminder that no matter what is happening in the world, we need to remember that “this is the day the Lord has made”! God is in control and we need to rejoice and be glad in it. We would do well to remember this verse everyday. Today is God’s day. He has a plan for you and He loves you. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, you will be blessed as you do!
