Psalm 46:2 “Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,” Can you imagine anything more terrifying than the calamity expressed in this verse? And still God says to never fear. And why should we never fear? Because He is taking care of us as He has promised and His promises never fail. Stability, courage and faithful strength are all our middle names.

Psalm 46:1 “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” God’s continual presence in our lives is more than essential for each one of us. Without His every second presence we would find ourselves lost, lonely and worshipping a God who does not keep His promises–therefore, our God becomes god just like all the other religious gods. God is a faithful, ever present, always keeping His promises God. Each of us is blessed beyond our understanding to be loved, adopted children of our Wonderful God!

Psalm 44:26 “Rise up and help us; rescue us because of your unfailing love.” You and I have no idea what love God has for each of us. What incomprehensible love we take for granted. Our Psalmist uses the word—unfailing—love. That is a great word and concept to cherish for 2026. Can you remember that for the next 365 days?Happy New Year!

Psalm 44:1 “We have heard it with our own ears, O God; our ancestors have told us what you did in their days, in days long ago.” Every Christian has the responsibility of teaching and sharing their faith with the following generation. With that concept as an accepted responsibility future generations will always benefit from previous generations and ancestors. Without that line of ancestor teaching faith truths will disappear which is the worst thing that could happen to children and future families.

Psalm 43:5b “Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.” The ending to this chapter is identical to the ending in the previous chapter. Why? Here is a thought—You and I need constant reminders and assurances. Our human nature is strong at times and forces us into depression thinking and lack of hope thinking. God is helping us, giving us strength, assuring us, comforting us while constantly repeating the thought–I love you. We could not possibly be in better hands. Thank and praise God!

Psalm 43:3a “Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me…” The concept of God as the light of the world occurs hundreds of times in the Bible. Why? The opposite of light is–dark–and that is exactly how one lives without light. Light dominates Christmas. Why? With Jesus comes light. That’s really what all the lights are about even though many do not realize it. Jesus is Light. Enjoy His light. Live in the Light! Merry Christmas–Our Light comes to earth!

Psalm 42:11b “…Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.” How can you and I do anything other than praise our Savior on this magical day? God’s love for each of us becomes evident and obvious. Christmas, then Lent, then Easter—-No where is there greater love—Our humble recognition of our Savior’s love gives us a hope and assurance, peace and comfort. You and I can only humbly say—THANK YOU!

Psalm 42:2 “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. Where can I go and meet with him? We all NEED to have a close relationship with our God. Our soul, our being, our life, our heart or what makes you uniquely you has a very deep desire to have as firm as firm gets relationship of contentedness, comfort and peace which ONLY comes from God. Our psalmist uses the visual of a very thirsty person. We all know the true relief of water. God is our ultimate thirst quenching water.

Psalm 41:13 “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen. Our minds cannot comprehend the complete thought of this verse. We are only capable of thinking of beginnings and endings. We speak and hear the word forever but our minds are incapable of understanding the concept. We have nothing to relate without time. Yet, because God has David write it we believe even though we don’t understand. All of God’s promises fit into the same category–we have the faith of a child listening to a parent. God says it–we, with wisdom, knowing God, believe.

Psalm 41:1 “Blessed are those who have regard for the weak; the Lord delivers them in times of trouble.” At times all of us are weak. At times all of us are strong. There is never a time when we are too weak or too strong to live without the love and grace of our Heavenly Father. When we are weak we pray for His strength. When we are strong we pray for humility. Conclusion: Weak or strong—we need our Savior.

Psalm 40:11 “Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord; may your love and faithfulness always protect me.” Even though King David lived about 3000 years ago his prayer applies now and will until this earth comes to an end. You and I need our God’s mercy, love and faithfulness. Since we enjoy those 3 qualities we live in comfort and contentedness. Right now it is 16 degrees outside in Wisconsin, yet it is very comfortable while I type this message to you. Our God always has us live in His comfort. Enjoy Him!
