Sunday Psalm Continuous Praise

Sunday March 21, 2021

When we wake up each morning, are our first thoughts a desire to praise God for His grace and goodness to us or, are they focused on our problems and things that need to be done?  When we begin our day focusing on our problems or personal agenda, we may miss the many valuable resources that God wants to make available to us for a productive day.

Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord, you his servants; praise the name of the Lord.  Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore.  From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.  The Lord is exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens.  Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high, who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?  (Psalm 113:1-6 NIV) 


"God could and would if He were sought"
should be front and center in our minds as we begin each new day.  When we put God first, He provides the wisdom and strength we need to achieve what is on our agenda.  On the other hand, when we begin our day trying to think of solutions for circumstances that may cause problems, we often find that we are ill equipped to handle what we actually encounter.
 

When we take time to have conscious contact with God, we will find that He, the maker of the heavens and the earth, really does listen and strengthen those whose hearts are turned towards Him.

The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.  (2 Chronicles 16:9 NLT)

Why worry and complain all day long about our hardships when God is ready to help us?  All we need to do is ask for His help early in the morning and continually throughout the day.

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, Help me to remember to seek You early, and all day long.  I want to trust You in all my affairs, for there is no hardship that You are unable to resolve.  Amen
