"O satisfy us in the morning
with Your lovingkindness, That we may sing for joy and be glad all our
days."
Satisfaction comes through
trusting.

"He who dwells in the shelter
of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty."
If you go out in summer, I am sure
you would like to walk under the shadow of a tree. Shadow provides protection
from heat.
Those who put their trust in God
will find comfort and protection from the Lord.

"The righteous man will
flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Planted in the house of the LORD, They will
flourish in the courts of our God. They will still yield fruit in old age; They
shall be full of sap and very green,"
They say that there's no prosperity
in doing righteous things but this Psalm says that a righteous man will
flourish.

"The floods have lifted up, O
LORD, The floods have lifted up their voice, The floods lift up their pounding
waves. More than the sounds of many waters, Than the mighty breakers of the
sea, The LORD on high is mighty."
Problems may be big, huge, on the rise,
but God is bigger than all those. He can deal with all our troubles.

"If
the LORD had not been my help, My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of
silence. If I should say, "My foot has slipped," Your lovingkindness,
O LORD, will hold me up."
The
Lord will hold me fast!

"For
He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand.
Today, if you would hear His voice,"
We
are not only the people of God, but of God's pasture, emphasizing the provision
of God. A Christian does not need to be a beggar!

"For
great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all
gods."
We
are not only to praise God but fear God. Not just loving but fearing!

"Hate
evil, you who love the LORD, Who preserves the souls of His godly ones; He
delivers them from the hand of the wicked."
It's
not enough just to be known for what we love, it must be known for what we hate
too.

"He has remembered His
lovingkindness and His faithfulness to the house of Israel; All the ends of the
earth have seen the salvation of our God."
"Before the LORD, for He is
coming to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness And the
peoples with equity."
There's no excuse. God is just. And
He is coming back to judge, no longer to save. Now is the time to be saved. Now
is the time to rescue. Now is the time for our mission, prayer, and effort.

avenger!

"For the LORD is good; His
lovingkindness is everlasting And His faithfulness to all generations."
God is good.
God is Lovingkindnes.
God is faithful.
If I am a child of God, must not I
be striving to produce these virtues in my life?

"You will arise and have

"Glory in His holy name; Let
the heart of those who seek the LORD be glad. Seek the LORD and His strength;
Seek His face continually."

delighting in God. 👍

"Nevertheless He looked upon
their distress When He heard their cry; And He remembered His covenant for
their sake, And relented according to the greatness of His
lovingkindness."
God is merciful, forgiving,
compassionate, and faithful. We can always trust Him, come to Him, and praise
Him.
On the flip side, we ought to
imitate Him as His children.
