Monday
Read Psalm 81:1-10
Shout for joy to God our defender;
sing praise to the God of Jacob!
2 Start the music and beat the tambourines;
play pleasant music on the harps and the lyres.
3 Blow the trumpet for the festival,
when the moon is new and when the moon is full.
4 This is the law in Israel,
an order from the God of Jacob.
5 He gave it to the people of Israel
when he attacked the land of Egypt.
I hear an unknown voice saying,
6 “I took the burdens off your backs;
I let you put down your loads of bricks.
7 When you were in trouble, you called to me, and I saved you.
From my hiding place in the storm, I answered you.
I put you to the test at the springs of Meribah.
8 Listen, my people, to my warning;
Israel, how I wish you would listen to me!
9 You must never worship another god.
10 I am the Lord your God,
who brought you out of Egypt.
Open your mouth, and I will feed you.
sing praise to the God of Jacob!

Think
When God gave the Israelites the ten
commandments God repeated: "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of
Egypt." God sometimes tells us
things that are difficult to hear.
Always remember God's nature, the God who brought you out of Egypt.
Pray
Take the burden off my back, let me put
down my loads of bricks. (vs 6-7)
