Reading the following Psalm is a great way to start the day. The people of every nation on earth are encouraged to praise God for His kindness and great love towards them.
Those of us who have given our will and life over to the care of God know we no longer carry the baggage of our past sin and the accompanying guilt and shame. We have been forgiven and declared blameless by the kindness of God in sending Jesus into the world to set us free from the power of sin. We are no longer guilty. We, who once lived in rebellion against the things of God, are now reconciled to our Heavenly Father who lavishes His love on us. We are His cherished children. If that’s not something to praise God for, what is?
How priceless your faithful love is! People find safety in the shadow of your wings. They eat well because there is more than enough in your house. You let them drink from your river that flows with good things. (Psalm 36:7-8 NIRV)
At times we may feel undeserving of the goodness of God. The truth is, when we believe in the finished work of Jesus to wash away our sins, we receive an eternal inheritance from God that Jesus purchased for us with His life. We don’t deserve it, but God declares the price of sin is “paid in full” by Jesus.
Great blessings belong to those who live pure lives! They follow the Lord’s teachings. Great blessings belong to those who follow his rules! They seek him with all their heart. (Psalm 119:1-2 ERV)
Let’s improve our conscious contact with God and praise Him for the reason we have goodness and mercy following us all the days of our life.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Let me not be silent. I am grateful for all that Jesus has done for me. I ask You to give me the will and desire to live my life in praise and thanksgiving for my inheritance through Jesus. Amen
