What's your plan as we go into the holidays for how you're going to share the

gospel with your family members or friends who don't know Jesus? I wrote a short

resource called Gospel Threads to help you intentionally share Christ in the

fabric of your normal conversations around the table or the living room or wherever you are,

and we want to send you a free copy of gospel threads to your

front door just go to radical dot net slash share Jesus.

Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net.

Psalm chapter 132 verse 9.

Let your priests be clothed with righteousness and let your saints shout for joy.

This song is what's classified as like a royal psalm. It really revolves around God's covenant with

David the king, God's promise to dwell among his people in glory and bless them in all kinds of ways, protect them, lead

them, guide them, but right here in the middle of the Psalm, we hear this prayer right

before this verse, verse 8, says arise, oh Lord, go to your resting

place, you in the arc of your might, the whole picture is God dwelling among his people

like he's done all throughout the Old Testament to this point in a ten to tabernacle and in a temple to come that Solomon will build and then the Psalmist praise let your priest be clothed with righteousness.

So the picture is those who serve in the temple, those who serve in the tabernacle, may they be clothed with righteousness

and holiness because they're the ones that represent God before the people and the people

before God.

So righteousness is necessary in the presence of God

and let your Saints shout for joy.

So you see this picture of holiness, righteousness, and joy gladness.

And this is one of those places.
