We Are Built For Praise

Our Father is full of mercy and grace towards His people, toward us. He loves us and cares for us. We know that when we sleep, He watches over us.

Psalms 3:1 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3 But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.

We see hear that David trusted in Yahuah (Lord) even in the middle of battle. Even there David knew He could lay down to sleep and God had his back through the night. Imagine knowing that even on the battlefield we have the ultimate protection! It is clear to me that David had an attitude toward Yahuah (Lord) that caused him to praise Yahuah (Lord) and His name at all times. David said that Yahuah’s (Lord’s) song was with him even in the night.

Psalms 42:8 Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

Last night in my dreams I began to praise Yahuah (Lord). This is interesting because I am not gifted with a good singing voice. Even more interesting was the fact that I actually physically began to sing while I was yet asleep. After a few verses I woke myself up and I was still singing. I stopped and sat up to see if I had awakened my wife, but she was still asleep. In that moment I felt the great comfort that Yahuah (Lord) is to us. I knew He was watching over us. We are built to praise Yahuah (Lord).
