Psalm 102:2 “Do not hide your face from me when I am in distress. Turn your ear to me; when I call, answer me quickly.” If only you and I could physically see our Heavenly Father and His angels as they live by our side every moment of every day. Our level of confidence would rise where God wants it to be. We, at times, live with anxiety and depression, not because of God, but rather because of ourselves and our lack of trust and confidence caused by our human nature. The sad truth is: none of us are exempt. We all need to constantly pray–God, give me the strength and confidence to totally trust you and never allow fear to be a part of me. Make my trust level always be 1000% as You want it to be. In Jesus’ name we pray. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 101:6 “My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; the one whose walk is blameless will minister to me.” How do you choose whom you will hang out with? Are friends based on social status? Are friends based on income level? Are friends based on drinking buddies? Is there no criteria, or does God in this passage have a wise thought? God is saying–choose as friends those who are faithful to Him. If you and I want to be faithful to God, choose to surround ourselves with those who are faithful to God. A truth is: those whom you choose to surround yourself is a sure indicator of who you are. Be careful.

Psalm 101:1 “I will sing of your love and justice; to you, Lord, I will sing praise.” Our human nature does not allow us to understand the tremendous blessing of love. Of paramount importance is the love our Father has for each of us. If we comprehended that love, our days would be filled with honor and praise and we would not be as self-centered as we all tend to be. David, in this verse, expresses himself as you and I should also. What a wonderful God we are extremely thankful for!

Psalm 100:5 “For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” No one approaches the consistence of God. He is absolutely perfect in all His decision and in His love. God is extremely difficult for us to understand because we are not like Him at all. We change our minds. We don’t always show love when we should. We need continual support. We are far from perfect. But, we praise Him because His love never fails and endures for each of us forever and His truths have been true, are true and will be true forever. What a phenomenal God we worship.

Psalm 100:3 “Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.” Believe this truth: God is God–everything to follow is based on this truth. He created you and me–therefore, you and I are not an accident or a chance, mistake or fluke of a biological event. He created, formed you and me for a purpose–therefore, neither of us are wondering aimlessly trying to have as much fun as possible before the inevitable (death) happens. All of our years of life belong to our God–our life is His–not ours. What does He want us to do with it? That is the key question to a successful life. If we think we are our own we are losers. When we live as His child, –success, peace and contentedness are ours. Frustration or joy–make the right choice.

Psalm 100:2 “Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.” Worship with gladness; come with joy. Attitude is everything! Our God far surpasses our understanding. Trusting His instruction is absolutely key to successful living. The world does not apply this thinking, but although you and I live in the world we are not of the world. Apply God thinking as we worship Him daily. There is nothing better. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 100:5 “For the Lord is good and his love endures forever, his faithfulness continues through all generations.” When does our Heavenly Father’s love end? When does our Savior’s faithfulness stop? When will the work of the Holy Spirit come to an end? The answer to all three questions is the same. You and I rest in peace because we know the answer. To know the answer is a wonderful blessing and it is our responsibility to live the answer and to tell the answer to others, especially to others who don’t know or live enjoying the answer. When? Never! Enjoy!

Psalm 99:5 “Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his footstool; he is holy.” Pride is detrimental to living successfully. Humility is key to successful living.

What an honor it is to humbly worship at His magnificent throne.

Psalm 98:4 “Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music;” At times in all of our lives it is very difficult to shout and be jubilant. There are multiple persons who receive these devotions who have lost their spouse, who are suffering from serious illness, who have lost loved ones, who have addictions and therefore have many difficulties. Life on earth can be very difficult no matter what one pretends on Facebook. Yet, our God is always magnificent, loving and will one day bring us to Himself where beauty is all there is. Praise God always for His loving kindness.

Psalm 98:2 “The Lord has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations.” God has never been secretive. He is as honest as honest gets and is as loving as only God can be. He has told the world the route to success; His formula for contentedness; the salvation attained exclusively through His Son and all there is to know about having a relationship with Him which guarantees a peace found nowhere else. Your and my responsibility is to pray for and believe all these phenomenal free gifts from our Father.

Psalm 98:1 “Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.” Our Savior brought salvation to the world. He is not just a great prophet or a hero of some kind; He is the Savior of the world. You and I cannot truly live without Him. Because of His sinless perfection we inherit eternal life in Heaven. Marvelous, fantastic, amazing and any superlative describe our Redeemer. Great is our God.

Psalm 97:12 “Rejoice in the Lord, you who are righteous, and praise his holy name.” The likelihood of any of us ever having been called holy is Zero. The Only One the word Holy accurately applies to is God. Since that statement is true, isn’t it also true that we should study His Bible to learn as much as we possibly can? Isn’t it also true that all faithful believers=the righteous, would rejoice and praise His Holy Name. You and I have a responsibility and privilege today and everyday.
