Psalm 50:9-10a “You are my strength, I watch for you; you, God, are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely…” Is there anyone or anything which can offer more security, comfort or peace than our true God? If anyone answers ‘yes’ to that question, they live in lala land and are preparing themselves for disaster. Our Psalmist, David, has written absolute truth. God is David’s, your and my strength, fortress and the One we completely trust. What if we did not know Him? None of us want even to consider that. We cannot be more blessed than walking with Him constantly.

Psalm 57:11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.” Our Psalmist, David, placed his full confidence in God because he knew God. He did nor question the amazing magnificence of God. His relationship with God was as close as close gets. And he praised God because he knew Him. Isn’t that confidence of truth the same for you and me? Praise be to God!

Psalm 57:10 “For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.” How can God help you and me understand the magnitude of His love for each of us? He helps us understand through a passage such as this one. Do we understand? I don’t think so. We simply can’t comprehend how God, the Creator of the Universe, the Master of all life, the Controller of everything, wants you and me to live with Him. That is beyond our comprehension. Yet, the truth is—His love for each of us is phenomenal-couldn’t be greater. What a live He wants us to live! Both now and eternally.

Psalm 57:7a “My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast…” As a faith-filled Christian you and I can do nothing other than constantly turn to our Magnificent God. Even in moments of weakness, we know our God is never weak and our strength is constantly in Him. We know our weakness is never founded in His weakness; however, our strength is always found in His strength. We pray He always give us a steadfast mind and heart.

Psalm 56:10-11a “In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise—-in Gid I trust and am not afraid…” God tells us to place our total confidence in Him as He will NEVER fail us. But, He doesn’t always answer my prayers—you and I say. Perhaps we should always pray–Thy will be done and 1000% place our trust in those words. Our human nature of fear and doubt and anxiety would disappear. That is God’s promise. We close this week with these words of trust–THY WILL BE DONE. AMEN. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 53:22 “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.” Anxiety is an unfortunate human emotion. That emotion is conquered when we place our full confidence in our God and His love which is far beyond your and my understanding. When we trust Him, when we give every fear we have to Him, when we believe Him with full confidence, when… anxiety is gone and comfort and perfect peace is our reward. Thank you, God.

Psalm 55:16 “As for me, I call to God, and the Lord saves me.” In life and in death your and my trusting mentality is identical. We place ourselves into our Savior’s arms. Our problems arise when we rely on ourselves for our salvation either on this earth or for all of eternity. Nothing could be more of a mistake. Fear and anxiety are the result of self-reliance. When we place our full confidence in our God nothing but good results. That is the only way to live life!

Psalm 54:4 “Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.” Would anyone be so foolish as to say or think they can do well without having a relationship with the Creator of the Universe–God? Security, comfort, peace, outstanding love and hope are all lost with that kind of attitude. With a mindset as expressed in this verse, true life and happiness become wholesome traits in every Christian’s life. Thank God for this kind of life. Please pray for Marilyn as she is experiencing continued trials with cancer. Pray for a strong faith and confidence that God absolutely has her in His arms. Thank you.

Psalm 53:1a&b “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ They are corrupt and their ways are vile;..” God does not fool around with truth. Man can debate or man can agree to disagree, but God does neither. He always wants His children to know absolute truth and to be faithful to Him. He wants us to be faithful, content–to live with perfect peace and enjoy security.None of that can be done if one does not know God and He wants all of us to know Him. Then gifts galore are showered. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 52:8b “I trust in God’s unfailing love forever and ever.” I guess God’s love is ok and He will probably keep His promises. Those are the words and thoughts of the majority of weak minded people. Every Christian can be and is absolutely positive God’s love is definite, never fails and lasts forever. Nothing, nothing gets better than that. Our Heavenly Father insists we know that truth so we never live with doubt or fear. Our human nature likes to insert doubt and fear; however, our God wants us to live with no fear and no doubt. We pray for such a strong faith.

Psalm 51:15 “Open my lips, Lord, and my mouth will declare your praise.” How much of our conversation is of little value? How much of our conversation is centered around our own circumstances and pleasures? How much of our conversation praises God and tells others about him? The percent of each area of conversation undoubtedly drops dramatically as each How much question is answered. Our inspired Psalmist suggests the opposite and makes this thought a prayer and you and I do too. We pray—-“Open my lips, Lord, and my mouth will declare your praise.”

Psalm 51:12 “Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.” Nothing in this short life compares to the joy we own because our eternity brings no sadness. Every once in a while we have a thrill on this earth because of a visit by someone we love and who loves us. Or we go on a special vacation. Or we have a special dinner out to celebrate a birthday or anniversary or something. We have a glass of champaign. But nothing can possibly give us the joy of knowing eternity in Heaven with all its glory and happiness is coming. That joy carries us always as we take our steps on this earth.
