Psalm 71:19 “Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens, you who have done great things. Who is like you, God?” For you and me to recognize the uniqueness of God is to walk humbly with Him. To place God above, far above everything is to try and understand the oneness of the being of God and to humbly appreciate the love God has for each of us. What an honor it is to be called a child of God. To say or write that God is great is a total understatement. We have to say with our Psalmist–Who is like you, God? Nave a great weekend.

Psalm 71:18 “Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come.” There is no such thing as retirement in God’s eyes. You and I are responsible to teach by words, life style and our entire being. Whether we realize it or not that is exactly what we do–either for the advancement or detriment of our children, grandchildren or great grandchildren. The mighty power of God is impossible to ignore and impossible not to praise throughout life to our dying day. To ignore this responsibility is just the opposite of what God expects of each of us.

Psalm 71:17 “Since my youth, God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.” What a blessing many children experience when they are raised by Christian parents in a Christian home. How sad it is when children do not experience growing up in such an environment. David experienced the former and was extremely appreciative. It is the responsibility of all parents to teach and train their children the truths of God as they become parents. Praise God if you have been such a child or such a parent.

Psalm 71:16 “I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign Lord; I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.” We as human beings have difficulty realizing the magnificence of God for a few reasons: 1. There is no one who comes within miles of His glory and abilities 2. No one has ever seen Him in His full glory 3. He is totally unlike any other being 4. He never changes 5. His love for us is so unique we do not understand how it can be 6. He wants you and me to live with Him eternally in a place called Heaven when we leave this earth. If anyone of you reading this short devotion can explain any of the above, please take over writing these devotional thoughts. You are not human.

Psalm 71:15 “My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds, of your saving acts all day long—-though I know not how to relate them all.” Many books–many authors–one theme–one purpose–absolute truth–no contradictions–written by inspiration–where God reveals Himself–written over centuries–half explains the life, death and resurrection of God/man named Jesus. That is the definition of phenomenal! And this Book contains all lessons to lead a very successful life. Wouldn’t it be foolish to not study this Book?

Psalm 71:14 “As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more.” Being sure with absolute confidence is a wonderful gift to be enjoyed by every faith filled follower of our One and Only True God. The world is full of gods, David knew that, Abraham knew that, Ruth knew that, all the disciples knew that (the list of believers is endless) and you and I know that. God has placed in our hearts the solid truth regarding Himself and His Word. All believers could not be more blessed. Praise God and thank God for our faith filled hearts. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 69:34 “Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and all that move in them,” The Creator of the universe certainly deserves our praise. You and I cannot even create a speck of dust or a leaf on a tree or a drop of water from nothing, yet God created the entire universe out of nothing. We cannot comprehend the awesomeness of God. You and I, like our Psalmist, can only praise Him–praise Him even without being able to comprehend His glory. What a phenomenal God — and to think He loves us.

Psalm 68:20 “Our God is a God who saves; from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death.” There is no God from any other religion who distinguishes itself as does the Absolute Majestic God who lives with the love of salvation for every faith filled follower. No other faith has a God who takes the abuse our True Sacrificial God takes and still blesses His followers. When this earthly life is over, immediately our eternal life begins. Nothing could be better. Never fear death as it is the gateway to Life.

Psalm 68:19 “Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.” There is no one on earth who does not have problems. There is a huge difference, however, how people solve those problems. One group says, relying on oneself–God, (in a manner using God’s name inappropriately) how am I going to solve these problems? While the other group says–God, help me solve these problems. One group relies on self. One group relies on and walks with their Savior. The one who walks with their Savior always succeeds while the other group will always live in wondering what to do. Which group are you in?

Psalm 68:3 “But may the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful.” God wants His faith filled followers to enjoy life. He wants you and me to live in the security of His constant presence, guidance and love. Never does He want us to live in fear–even in the presence of death. God sent His Son to overcome fear for each of us as He knew no fear and therefore neither should you or I. Never fear. Always enjoy. What could be better than being His blessed child!

Psalm 67:7 “May God bless us still, so that all the ends of the earth will fear him. Our Psalmist is not only appreciative of what God has done for him, he is concerned for the rest of mankind. He prays God will bless all of mankind because He is both capable and wonderful. You and I pray that same prayer so all men and women and children learn to love God as He intends and then receive the blessings which tremendously affect a person both in this life and in in our life to come for all eternity. What a magnificent God we serve. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 67:1 “may God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine on us–” It is very difficult for you and me to truly realize what we are asking when we pray this Psalm. We are asking the true God of the Universe, with all His power 1. to love us and 2. to shower us with His richness and 3. make us His faithful disciples. Could we possibly ask for more? The piece which is so difficult for you and me to understand is God answering us and saying—sure, I can and will do that! We can only thank our wonderful God.
