Psalm 81:1 “Sing for joy to God our strength; shout aloud to the God of Jacob.” Is it fair to say (write) that either a person has strength or a person has weakness? Is it fair to say (again, write) that a Christian has strength. That isn’t to write a Christian is problem free or is perfect–it is to write–a Christian relies in faith on the strength provided by his/her Heavenly Father. If strength is absent– anxiety, depression and a feeling of loneliness does exist. Not only is our Psalmist expressing the thought of strength with a relationship with Jesus, but to delight in that strength–sing, rejoice and shout about it! What a joy to live and be thankful for such a faith.

Psalm 81:1 “Sing for joy to God our strength; shout aloud to the God of Jacob.” God makes Himself known to you and me through the Bible, through nature and through our individual hearts and souls.Our Psalmist not only knew of God, he knew that from God comes peace, contentedness and strength. How can any of us, knowing this truth, not earnestly and excitedly thank and praise the God of our forefathers and our loving, wonderful Redeemer.

Psalm 80:3 “Restore us, O God; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.” Allow me to interpret this passage in the form of construction. All of us who own a home are in a constant state of construction, demolition, restoration, a sigh of relief saying now we’re done (but we never are) as we are continually repeating those 4 steps. The same with our lives. We learn God’s Word. we disobey God’s Word, we are forgiven and made perfect and say to ourselves–now maybe we have learned for good (but we never do) and are continually repeating those 4 steps. Could our Savior be more loving—how compassionate He is—how forgiving He is—how blessed we are.

Psalm 78:7 “Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands.” Every one of us has to make a decision in regard to relying on or trusting in every one and everything. You either trust or you don’t. If you don’t you cannot say–well, sometimes. If you do you will say–always. In regard to God we can honestly and definitely say–always. God’s promises are never in question. Whatever He tells us is absolute truth. When He says–I love you, I forgive you, you are my child, I am always with you, I am your God and your Savior–believe Him with all your heart—you are relying on absolute truth–trust Him! You are His wonderfully blessed child—worry about nothing.

Psalm 18:4 “We will[ not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.” Every responsible Christian is privileged to both live his/her life to God’s glory and to tell others of His grace and glory. Appreciation and love make it impossible to not tell others of His wonders. Your and my lives are simply not complete if we keep the marvels of our God to ourselves. Enjoy spreading Truth!
