God deserves our praise in all things, both good and bad. Psalm 47:1 says, Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy. This Psalm was written during the Assyrian invasion of Judah, but the author of this Psalm still encouraged the people to praise God. Regardless of the circumstance, God deserves our praise.

While fear is a natural emotion, we can rest assured we are never alone when we have a relationship with God. Psalm 46:1 says, God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. God is always present whether we feel His presence or not. Trust in Him and know He never leaves us and is always by our side.

God is the one who moves us to be exactly who He created us to be. When we are in sync with Him, we do things we never thought we were capable of doing. In Psalm 45:1 the author says, My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer. We are the instrument used by our Holy Father to do His will and impact this world if we are willing to submit to His leading.

Our confidence should come from the knowledge that we serve a powerful and loving God. Psalm 44:8 says, In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever. Because of our confidence, we should give God our praise at all times. All that we do and all God does for us is for His glory.

It is not always easy to do the right thing. But when we do what is right, we are justified from fallout. In Psalm 43:1 the psalmist says, Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; rescue me from deceitful and wicked men. God’s acceptance of our actions is all the justification we need.

The poetry of Psalm 42:1 is beautiful, As a deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. David recognized water was a necessity for life. He also recognized that God is just as important as water in our lives. We must all crave God and a relationship with Him as much as we crave anything that gives us life.

The Bible is filled with God’s concern for the poor, weak, and helpless. God wants us to share His concern. In Psalm 41:1 David begins with, Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the Lord delivers him in times of trouble. As God has blessed every one of us, we should in turn bless others. Our generosity should reflect God’s generosity for us in all aspects of our lives, but especially when it comes to giving.

If we were to stop long enough to think of all God has done for us, we would never be able to remember them all. In Psalm 39:5 David says, Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare. Not only are there too many things to remember, but there are things God has done for each of us that we don’t even realize. Praise God for his never ending protection and unlimited blessings on each of our lives.

If each of us knew how much time we had left in this lifetime, we would live it differently. Life is really short in the light of eternity. In Psalm 39:4 David cries out to God and says, “Show me, O Lord, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life. David acknowledged how fleeting our time is and how quickly it will all end. We are not promised tomorrow, so we need to make sure we make the most of today and every day.
