Psalm 98

Yep, I messed up. As I read I normally check off the daily reading from a checklist. But sometimes I forget to check the list. I thought that I had read this psalm two days ago so I skipped ahead. Now it wouldn't be right to claim to have read the whole Bible in one year and to have skipped a psalm. Of course that is not a point of salvation. And it was well worth the back tracking to pick up this psalm. Verse 2 led me to ask; How did God reveal his righteousness to the other nations of Israel's day? How had all the earth (physically and politically) seen God's salvation?  The only answer I have is that Israel's existence was the witness to the world of the mighty acts of God. He had raised her up from a gathering of slaves to an unstoppable kingdom. Then he judged them for their sin, punished them for their rebellion, refined them in their exile and restored them to the inheritence he had promised. So is the church an example to the world today.
It took me about 1 minute to read this psalm.
