Full Life, Full Living
In many ways we choose the life we live. The psalmists wrote often of how they interacted with God, and what God’s response was. This is also many places in scriptures. So how does this apply for us today, this day? I think most of us would want to live a full and happy life. We would want God to be there to protect us from our enemies. We would want to go into old age knowing that we will be provided for not because of who we are and what we have done but because of who God is. This we can do, and the pattern has been set.
Psalms 92:1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4 For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
8 But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore.
9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
15 To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
David wrote this song to reflect on who God is and what He does for us, to be sung on the Sabbath day. Perhaps this would be good for us to remember, and sing parts of this to God today, letting Him show Himself strong on our behalf.
Prayer
Father, we praise and exalt You the Most High. We ask today for Your mercy and truth in our lives. Please forgive us when we make mistakes. Please show Yourself strong on our behalf today Father. Please send today Your deliverance, healing, and abundant provision. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
