Psalm 22:20 “We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.” Hope=confident expectation. Hope is not maybe yes, maybe no. Hope is an absolute. You and I, with absolute confident expectation look forward to God fulfilling all the promises He has told us in Scripture. Our life on this earth and our eternal life are in His hands (where we absolutely want them to be). We could not possibly be in a better place!

Psalm 33:18 “But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love.” God’s love is unique only to itself. He sees you and me, because we place our hope in Him, as His dear children and blesses us accordingly. To correct our human nature with its infinite number of flaws He sent His Son to live, die and rise so that you and I would become perfect. There is no greater love. What an amazing God we cherish with all our hope.

Psalm 33:12 “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.” Is America a Christian nation? Many Christians are trying to make it that way. Charlie Kirk certainly was trying very hard and his wife is now taking his place to accomplish the same. We all have to ask–are we playing our role in making America a blessed nation? Time will expose the answer; however, let each of us show the courage to live and encourage others to live the life our God intends for us.

Psalm 33:11 “But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.” A person has two choices in regard to this passage: the first choice is to ignore it, while the second choice is to apply it.If you ignore it–just continue with life and grab all the gusto you can. If you choose to apply it you will live a purposeful life praying that you are filled with doing your Father’s will. The second will have the meaning your Savior intends. The second will fil you with meaning for yourself, fellow mankind and service with praise to God. Enjoy! Have a great weekend.

Psalm 33:6 & 9 “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath if his mouth. For he spoke and it came to be; he commanded and it stood firm. David is stating the absolute wonder of Creation. Our God is far beyond our comprehension. You and I can do a lot of talking but we can never create out of nothing with words alone. God did and in the most intricate and varied form. When we get to heaven, I am positive we will be astonished and marvel at the home He has prepared for each of us.

Psalm 21:5 “The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His unfailing love.” Every breath you and I take is a gift from God. Breath is only the beginning of the treasure house of gifts we are freely blessed with. Every one of us–look around you and see the gifts you have been given. Riches galore are yours and mine. God says–enjoy–I love you–how blessed we are!

Psalm 33:4 “For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.” It is obvious that David loved God and had a relationship with Him which was tight. David trusted God with all his heart. He must have written the Psalms because he wanted you and me to feel the same and to enjoy the life one can live only with that tight and loving relationship.

Psalm 32:10 “Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in him.” Trusting in God is the easiest thing a person can possibly do yet many fail. Why would a person trust in anyone or anything else when the Creator of the Universe has outstretched arms and offers a comfort and peace found nowhere else? We pray that our human nature never overrides the trust we are guaranteed by our Heavenly Father. Let us live our lives trusting in Him and Him alone.

Psalm 32:2 “Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit.” You have to ask yourself–am I blessed according to what God states in this passage? Do I have a faith filled heart and enjoy serving my Savior? Do I read my Bible and believe what it has to say? Do I recognize I am saved by grace and all my works are as filthy rags in gaining salvation? Am I blessed and a child of God only because of the redemptive sacrifice of my Savior? Your answers answer the question–Are you blessed? Have a great weekend.

Psalm 30:11-12 “You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. Lord, my God, I will praise you forever.” What is the greatest relationship one can have? A loving spouse? Wonderful, obedient, caring children? Friends one can enjoy partying with? All of these answers are fine, but none answer the question. Your Heavenly Father blankets you and me with joy.Nothing is more wonderful. What a joy it is to be a loved and adopted child of God. So, the answer to the question??

Psalm 31:2 “Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me.” David prayed this prayer because he knew God not only could but also would give him the comfort only God was capable of giving. No one else could come close to satisfying David’s needs. The same is true of you and me. God is your and my refuge, rock and fortress. Our ultimate strength comes from our Redeemer. Praise God for His love for each of us.
