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.

Psalm 30:4 “Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people; praise his holy name.” Can any person who has a relationship with God do anything other than praise and honor Him? Why He so dearly loves you and me can only be answered with–because He does. Our life is constantly led with the thought–thank You and praise be to You.

Psalm 29:2 “Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.” We end the week with our hearts and minds giving glory to God. We spend the weekend with the same thought, and we will begin next week with the same thought. Is there ever a time when we don’t give glory to God? There is never a time. We constantly give praise and honor and glory to our majestic God! Have a great weekend.

Psalm 19:1 ‘Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.” Can you and I do anything other than praise God for His majesty. What a privilege it is that the Almighty God would even recognize us, much less, love and adopt us as His children and bring us to Himself eternally in Heaven. We can never thank and praise Him enough!

Psalm 28:9 “Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever.” Just as you and I talk to our Heavenly Father, so David talked to God. David never questioned the authority and power, yet the tenderness and love traits of His and our Almighty God. David knew all his blessings and even his kingship were gifts. Did David ever abuse his authority–yes. Do you and I at times not realize the gifts we have are freely given us by our Savior—yes, unfortunately. Praise God as He carries us in His arms as His dearly loved children.

Psalm 28:8 “The Lord is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.” To be brave, to have a courageous mentality, to be secure in life, to have peace and comfort in our faith are all a result of our God and His love for each of us. Is there anything more valuable? Education, assets or anything of this world pales in comparison. Thank God continually for the wonderful security He provides.

Psalm 28:7 “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.” David helps each of us as we define our attitude toward our God: strength, shield, trust, help, joy, praise. When you and I combine all of these qualities we have a faithful Christian worshiping a faithful God. We pray that God always gives us the solid strength of faith to never falter in weakness and to always be strong and steadfast.

Psalm 27:13 ” I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” God is good. God knows what is best. When man’s sinfulness erupts he often blames God and therefore accuses God for the bad that happens in this world. But, how can God be blamed for man’s imperfections? God is love. God is perfect. All that is good is from God. Thank you, God. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 27:5 “For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.” Whether you or I realize it or not, every faithful believer will experience two arenas of life–good times and not so good times. At all times we are surrounded by the love and protection of our Heavenly Father. The magnificence of God is our constant protection and security. We have nothing to fear—how blessed we are.
