You ever have one of those mornings when you get up and wonder what the day will have in store? You’re wondering if you will have the strength to face it – will you have the answer for the day’s questions – in yourself you feel weak?
This is the real part of our relationship with the Lord. Getting up each morning and thanking the Father for His mighty acts; for His strength, peace, joy and His abundant wisdom.
It’s not all about me – it certainly is all about Him! So focus…
“Praise the Lord, because he is good! His faithful love will last forever! 2 Everyone the Lord has saved should repeat that word of thanks. Praise him, all who have been rescued from the enemy.” Psalm 107:1-2 ERV
“Thank the Lord for his faithful love and for the amazing things he does for people. 9 He satisfies those who are thirsty. He fills those who are hungry with good things.” Psalm 107:8-9 ERV
“He gave the command and healed them, so they were saved from the grave. 21 Thank the Lord for his faithful love and for the amazing things he does for people. 22 Offer sacrifices of thanks to him. Sing with joy about all that he has done.” Psalm 107:20-22 ERV
“Whoever is wise will remember these things and begin to understand the Lord’s faithful love.” Psalm 107:43 ERV
Psalm 107 is filled with examples of people doing their own thing; straying from God’s plan. Then in desperation they call out to the Lord and He delivers them because of His amazing, faithful love.
If our Father remains faithful to the rebellious and disobedient, and we have all been in that category, we can be confident that He is faithful to those who are obedient and faithful. We are His children and His love never fails.
“Praise the Lord with me. Let us honor his name. 4 I went to the Lord for help, and he listened. He saved me from all that I fear. 5 If you look to him for help, he will put a smile on your face. You will have no need to be ashamed.” Psalm 34:3-5 ERV
Focusing on His love, mercy, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and protection gives us many, many reasons to praise. It will put a smile on our face.
Throughout the day take “Praise Breaks”. Praise reminds us of the Lord’s faithful love!
