Psalm 118:17 “I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the Lord has done,” Everyone who lives will also die. Everyone who lives will never die. Which statement is true? They both are. Life on this earth for all of us will end. After end comes beginning. Our home, our eternal home, the home bought by our Savior with more luxury than we can imagine begins. No suffering, no sadness, no disappointments, no Facebook, no TikTok, only pure, honest joy. That life is one we all should look forward to living. Thank you, God.

Psalm 118:15 “Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: The Lord’s right hand has done marvelous things!” How happy can a person get? What makes a person jump for joy? Have you ever been so elated that you couldn’t control your emotions and had to grab someone and dance with an unusual excitement? What has been the best/happiest moment in your life? Imagine the joy and victory in your heart because it has been filled with the blessings given you by your Savior. You are extremely blessed!

Psalm 118:14 “The Lord is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation.” The Lord is the center of your and my life. If we think fun or eating well or finances or anything other than God is the center of life we are desperately mistaken. Obviously, none of us wants to be desperate and there is no need to be such. Be blessed and live joyfully.

Psalm 118:9 “It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.” Where do I find my security? Where do you find your security? And when one finds security are they weaker or stronger in that security? Is security found in anything on this earth? Absolutely not as earthly security can disappear in an instant. Health and wealth are gifts but nor sources of security. There is only One refuge or place of security and that One is our Savior. With that refuge or security, one has ultimate strength—far from weakness. Enjoy being blessed. Have a great weekend.

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.
