Ps. 95: Worship the Rock

Psalm 95:1 "Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation."

It is good to worship God. He is the creator and protector of all things. He created all things seen and unseen, and this alone indicates unspeakable power. And above all things, he is a good God, seeking that we have great blessing, like a sheep receives protection and providence from his shepherd. That is pretty awesome.

The Psalm ends with a warning not to astray like they did at Meribah and Massah, a reference to Exodus 17 and the Israelites' desire to return to Egypt and captivity. This quarreling led to their 40 years of wandering. Not a fun time.
