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.

Psalm 107:31 “Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind.” If you were to stretch your arms as far to the left and to the right as you possibly can you are far far too short of the love God has for you. Impossible is our word of understanding or describing the overwhelming love our Heavenly Father has for each of us. The words–thank you–on our part seems inadequate. How can we be anything but humble, faithful and appreciative children of our Father.

Psalm 107:1 “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; and his love endures forever.” We worship a very generous God. We worship a very loving God. We worship a very good God. At the same time we acknowledge these 3 statements as true, we also live in a world of chaos, confusion and faithfulness to gods of worldly life and thinking. How can God and gods seemingly want our attention and we survive without being in a state of major confusion. This difficulty will all be removed when we enter Heaven, but until then we pray for guidance and purity of clear thought surrounded by our Good and Loving, Faithful and Wonderful True God.

Psalm 106:28 “They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods.” The true God was ignored, and lifeless, worthless, meaningless and totally bogus idols were worshipped. How can we possibly put God aside and place pleasure and worldly living in place of our God? You and I must be very careful and study our Bibles, praying continually that our faith not be affected by the foolish thinking of the world. Develop a close relationship with the one and only true God.

Psalm 106:20 “They exchanged their glorious God for an image of a bull, which eats grass.” God’s people, the Children of Israel, worshipped metal in the form of an animal. The image had zero spiritual value, yet people worshipped it. They could not be more foolishly empty. I have a pen and pencil in front of me. Those writing instruments can make interesting lines on paper. Should I worship them? Why not? How foolish can one be? The True, Glorious God, our Redeemer is right before our eyes. There is but one magnificent God. Enjoy and worship Him with all your heart, soul and mind.

Psalm 106:2 “Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the Lord or fully declare his praise?” Does anyone on this beautifully created earth understand the magnificence of God and His boundless love for each of us? The song “Amazing Grace” or “Hallelujah” or “I Know That My Redeemer Lives” and so many other expressions of the wonders of God try and describe His grandeur. And all God asks for is our faithfulness. How can we do anything less? Have a great weekend.

Psalm 106:1 “Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” Of all the blessings you or I have received, the greatest, by far, is God’s love. Without that love nothing else has value–not our assets–not our education–not our beautiful country–not our friendships–nothing. It is only because of the love of our God that we are able to enjoy this life on earth and look forward to an eternity of pleasure and luxury beyond our imagination. Why would anyone pass on all the amazing benefits of His goodness and love?

Psalm 105:4 “Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.” Our Psalmist loves to praise God. He writes with the intent of expressing how he feels and how he believes all believers should feel. How can you and I do otherwise? Life on earth is certainly, at times, difficult and sad for each of us, yet none of us would ever want to live life without our loving Heavenly Father. Even in sadness we praise our Lord and Savior.

Psalm 104:34 “May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice in the Lord.” We should be serving our God and pleasing Him somewhere around 35-45 % of our lives because none of us is perfect. That’s the way some think and live. The problem is: 35-45 % turns into 100%. If we don’t have on our minds and in our hearts to be humble, faithful children of our Heavenly Father every second of our lives we fail. We thank God for our Savior/Redeemer. Meditate–Rejoice constantly.

Psalm 194:33 “I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.” Our Psalmist obviously knows where his blessings come from and it is only because of the love of his God that he receives them and will someday inherit eternal life in Heaven. How could any of us not have a joyful heart knowing that wonderful truth?
