Psalm 104:33-35 “I will sing to the LORD as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being. Let my meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in the LORD. Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, my soul. Praise the LORD!”

Did you catch that? “Let my meditation be sweet to Him.” Shouldn’t that be the desire of all our hearts?!?!?!?

It may seem strange to jump from worship to wrath, but I think it’s actually a very simple connection. The wicked don’t praise. The wicked don’t acknowledge. The wicked mock and ridicule. The wicked disrupt the worship of the saints. Worship is sweeter and more meaningful when everyone is unified. We even see that within the congregation:

1 Corinthians 11:17-18 “But in giving you this command I don’t praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse. For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist amongst you, and I partly believe it.”

So, it’s only natural that we should want those who disrupt worship to be dealt with!

My Meditation of Him Shall Be Sweet (Helen Maria Williams)

While Thee I seek, protecting Power,
Be my vain wishes stilled;
And may this consecrated hour
With better hopes be filled.

In each event of life, how clear
Thy ruling hand I see;
Each blessing to my soul more dear
Because conferred by Thee.

In every joy that crowns my days,
In every pain I bear,
My heart shall find delight in praise,
Or seek relief in prayer.
