Psalm 118:8 “It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans.” Our minds seem to compare God to humans. There is no comparison of anything including wealth, abilities, emotions, intelligence, anything tangible or intangible and our Psalmist especially identifies trust. Trust is everything. With trust comes the joy of contentedness, peace, understanding and a life which only comes with a loving relationship with the One True God. Trust is the biggest word in any language. Far bigger than supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (I went to spell check). We thank our God for the TOTAL trust we can WONDERFULLY place in Him like nothing and no one else.

Psalm 118:4 “Let those who fear the Lord say: ‘His love endures forever.'” Our Psalmist constantly is expressing the ultra-importance of God’s love for each of us. You and I will not understand the value of that love until we enter Heaven. On this earth we have too many distractions and we are incapable of understanding the love of God. We don’t comprehend what the love of God is. Our human nature is always interfering. How can imperfection understand perfection? All we can say is–it is wonderful to be loved by our God–we say– thank you with our whole heart.

Psalm 118:1 “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” Some have the mentality–if God is good, why suffering? Some gave the mentality–since God is good, our suffering has a purpose. Our Psalmist’s mentality–Thank God-God is good-His love is eternal. God’s mentality–I love you and will love you forever. Reread the passage again and come to your conclusion. Why not conclude–Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.

Psalm 117:2 “For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.” What an outstanding verse to begin our week. Could we possibly be blessed more? It is impossible to understand/realize/cherish the truth and blessings which are ours because of the truths expressed by our Psalmist. Thank you, God.

Psalm 116:18 “I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people.” We are usually influenced by the thinking of others who might not approve of our confession of faith in a pubic setting or even private if we are not sure of their faith stance. Our Psalmist says–always be faithful to your Heavenly Father. Never be shy of telling others of His grace and glory. Be faithful to Him as He is always to us. Have a great weekend.
