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.

Psalm 116:16 “Truly I am your servant, Lord; I serve you just as my mother did; you have freed me from my chains.” Do you have a strong desire to be a servant? Do you have a strong desire for Someone else to control you? Is your desire to not be of your own, but to follow the will of your Master? The correct answer to all three questions is the same–yes. But, it seems like then you and I have given up total independence. Yes, we have. And have gained the most joyful and secure life possible being faithful to the One who could not love us more. Enjoy being blessed by the Great Master of the Universe.

Psalm 116:15 “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servant.” Every moment in the life of a faithful, yet sinful, child of God is of great value, loved and cherished by our God. How can God love each of when, at times, we are not loveable? I can’t say any of us understand that. We never will understand that. He looks forward to our being with Himself for eternity. He looks forward to our death as should we. What a phenomenal God we trust and can place our full confidence in.

Psalm 116:13 “I will life up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.” To know the true God and to have an ever-growing relationship with Him carries with it the most treasured eternal gift imaginable. To ignore or to deny God is the most detrimental mistake imaginable. Our Psalmist could not be clearer–live in the joy provided by our Lord God Almighty! Worship Him and live in the security only He can provide.
