Psalm 145:1 “I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever.” It is difficult to form words which describe God. You and I can only think human. God is far above human, yet His care for each of us is beyond belief. We exalt and praise Him for we can do nothing else. God is God. For Him to send His Son for us is beyond our understanding. We must praise our God. David had to feel the same. What an honor we enjoy!

Psalm 144:4 “Man is like a breath; his days are like a fleeting shadow.” Compared to eternity life is short. How short? Google says an average person takes 20,000 breaths/day. Our Psalmist compares a lifetime to a breath. That is an extremely short period of time. Eternity is just the opposite. Is there any reason to enjoy earthly pleasures and ignore eternal consequences? We all spend so, so much time gathering a “fortune” not realizing the fabulous fortune our Savior is preparing for us that never ends. Sometimes—what are you and I thinking? Have a great weekend.

Psalm 144:3 “O Lord, what is man that you care for him, the son of man that you think of him?” David’s humility is dominating his thinking. Your and my humility has to dominate our thinking. We have to be so thankful that our God’s unfailing love dominates His thinking and actions. To be His adopted children is a blessing far beyond our wildest dreams. That thought alone is a blessing none of us will ever understand. Our Heavenly Father’s love is wonderful and real. What more can we say?

Psalm 144:2 “He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.” David cannot write enough about the God of the Universe, his personal Savior, his everything which is good. He relies on his God, places his full confidence in Him and enjoys the total security his Heavenly Father freely and lovingly gives to him. What a wonderful relationship David has with God. Aren’t you and I the same? How blessed we are!

Psalm 143:10 “Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.” How many wills function at the same time? 1. My will 2. Your will 3. Satan’s will 4. God’s will 5. Your neighbor’s will 6. The government’s will 7. Society’s will 8. Anyone or anything that affects your or anyone else’s life. What makes God’s will Supreme? Exactly, He is Supreme. His will NEVER fails. Why would you or I consider anything else? We always pray—Thy will be done!

Psalm 143:8 “Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.” Every morning begins a new day. Every morning we have to thank our God for new life. Every morning we love to thank our God for His unfailing love. Every morning we realize again we can place 100% of our trust in Him. Every morning we ask Him to guide us. Every morning we live our routine and must include Him or our day cannot possibly be well. Be well every morning–that is our prayer.
