The title for Psalm 92 is a Psalm for the Sabbath. The Holy Spirit inspired title for this Psalm is a reminder that we are to take time every week to worship the Lord together. In fact, verse one is a call to worship.  The Psalmist says, It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High.  Weekly corporate worship is both good for us and it is good for God.

This is a healthy reminder in our day and age. Unfortunately, over the last few years there has been a redefining of what it means to be an active church member. An active church member is one who worships the Lord with the body of Christ two times a month.  Yet the Word of God reminds us here that it is good to do this at least once a week.

We need to worship together. The great reformer, Martin Luther, said, “At home in my own house there is no warmth or vigor in me, but in the church when the multitude is gathered together, a fire is kindled in my heart, and it breaks its way through.” I need that fire rekindled every week because living in this world can often douse the fire that I have in my soul. I need corporate worship for me, but I also need it for you. Hebrews 10:25 tells me “to not neglect meeting together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.  I need to be at church for other people so that I can encourage them.
