We Can Do This!

It occurred to me this morning that God, who is always on our side, is a good King. A bad king, a bad ruler, would give the people tasks that were impossible or nearly impossible. This would be like the ruler in Egypt as Moses was born that ordered the male children killed twice. It would be like Herod that killed all the young boys in an attempt to kill Jesus. Bad kings, bad rulers, do bad to their subjects. That is really how the devil treats us. But God is a good King. He gives us life, and the power to live it.

When I thought about these things, I began to just sing words of praise. They were not words to any song, just words of praise to a tune (as good a tune as I can sing anyway). It was like Psalm 118, where the psalmist is singing praise to God for Hi mercy. The sound of victory was heard in my tent this morning! It helped me continue to think good things, to think of God, and I bet He was liking it, too! We can do this!

Prayer
Father, we praise and exalt You as the Most High, the One True King of the universe. Thank You for Your mercy. Thank You for being on our side in the struggle we call life. Thank You for lifting us up that we might have joy and praise Your name forever! In Jesus name. Amen.
