Psalm 119:5 “Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high?” This is the most rhetorical known to man. The answer is so obvious there is no need for an answer. Our Psalmist writes praising God because His might and majesty is far beyond even our comprehension. Why would God love you and me? Another true statement beyond our comprehension. Accept it. Live it. We thank Him with all our heart.

Psalm 113:3 “From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.” When you and I consider how blessed we are, how can we not praise God all day every day? Does this statement hold true in sickness and in health?-in life and in death?–in good times and in bad? Our Psalmist does not distinguish whatever emotional setting we are in. God’s love never fails–that is the definition of faith. We pray for such a strong faith.

Psalm 113:1 “Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, you his servants; praise the name of the Lord.” Of the 15 words of this passage 12 express the thought: Praise the Lord. The other 3 words refer to you and me.Is there any possibility God is telling us to have Him on our minds 80% of the time and think of ourselves, as His faithful, adopted, loved children 20% of the time? Or is God telling us to involve our Almighty God in our lives 100% of the time as we are blessed by Him 100% of the time as we live life?You decide. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 112:6-7 “Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever. They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.” Common human traits are fear and anxiety. Unfortunately, these emotions are also owned by Christians and much and various medication is prescribed to help one relax. God, through our Psalmist, has a beautiful and extremely effective medication–trust in Me and fear, worry and anxiety will be a thing of the past. What a blessing trust is with great reward.

Psalm 112:4 “Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and upright.” Life on earth is joyful for a believer, yet at times, because we are living on earth, life can be sad, depressing, anxious and simply difficult. Each of us experiences times just the opposite of pleasure. Never, however does the love and security of our God fail us. Never does the protection, refuge and fortress He provides fade. He is the wonderful comfort which never fails. Again, praise be to God.

Psalm 111:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.” Successful living begins when one first realizes God is God and the loving relationship He instigates begins. Wisdom and understanding become traits of a person. This is not to say perfection takes place for a person. Perfection is impossible on this earth. Faithfulness is the key. The “bit” of the key are wisdom and understanding. Praise God.

Psalm 108:12b-13a “…for human help is worthless. With God we will gain the victory…” The famous song, “I’m But a Stranger Here, Heaven Is My Home” written by Thomas Taylor and published in 1835 is the same thought as this part of Scripture. God is to be Supreme in our lives and if He is not only sadness can be the result. When God speaks, you and I will do well when and as we listen. A person can read all the human psychology books and never gain what is explained in one’s Bible. Be blessed–Study His Word–Gain the victory.

Psalm 108::4 “For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.” David, our author, recognized God as the ultimate–his guide, comforter and keeper of His promises. David, just like every faithful believer, enjoyed God’s love. How great is God’s love? David explains–higher than the skies! That is wonderful and phenomenal. How blessed we are.

Psalm 108:1 “My heart. O God, is steadfast; I will sing and make music with all my soul.” The key word is steadfast. As solid as granite. As strong a foundation as is possible. Steadfastness is a gift from God to you and me. Martin Luther expressed this thought in a hymn he wrote–“A Mighty Fortress is Our God”. The words worry or fear are eliminated and calm confidence, peace and trust are the precious gifts. You and I couldn’t be more blessed. Have a great weekend.
