Praise All The Day Long?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who will praise God all the day long. In Jesus’ name, amen.

David, the psalmist, is thankful there are people who want the best for him. Although he is fully aware others wish him ill, he also knows God will deliver him from evil forces.

Psalm 35:27-28 (ESV) culminates with an uplifting message and praise to God:

“Let those who delight in my righteousness
shout for joy and be glad
and say evermore,
‘Great is the Lord,
who delights in the welfare of his servant!’
Then my tongue shall tell of your righteousness
and of your praise all the day long.”

Even though David faced trials and tribulations, this psalm concludes by giving glory to God. Facing difficulties?

Stop. Refocus. Praise God, and give him all the glory.

Praise Continually?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who magnify the Lord and exalt his name continually. In Jesus’ name, amen.

There is something to be said about gathering together to worship God. Imagine being with kindred souls singing praise songs. Experience a personal revival. Yet, because of health concerns, some people have opted out of attending Sunday church services, hymn signs, and revival meetings. As an alternative, they have been watching television preachers and other programing.

David, the psalmist, in Psalm 34:1-3 (ESV), shares about praising God alone and with others.

“I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
let the humble hear and be glad.
Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt his name together!”

Take a moment and think about what David meant when he said “continually.” Praise God continually for one day. Before retiring that night, count the blessings. Then repeat one day at a time.
