RESPONSE: Lord, I will praise You with all that I am. I praise You for all that I am. You are worthy of all my praise!

VERSE: Psalm 103:10–He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. TRUTH: Often, we think we deserve certain things, or that God owes us something. Thankfully, God does not immediately give us what we deserve. He is merciful and patient and has made a way for forgiveness of our sins. Only if we DON’T request His merciful gift of salvation does He eventually give us exactly what we deserve. RESPONSE: Lord, thank You so much for not giving us what we as sinners deserve, but for making a way to come to You. I pray You will help me to never overlook…

VERSE: Psalm 101:7–He who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house; He who speaks falsehood shall not maintain his position before me. TRUTH: What type of company do we keep? Who do we allow to influence and guide us? Are these people following God or not? We need to be around non-believers in order to influence them and display Christ to them, but in turn we are to be careful of the influence they have in our life. RESPONSE: Father, help me evaluate every relationship that I have. I pray that You will show me any relationships in my life that are not where You want them to be.

VERSE: Psalm 100:2–Serve the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful singing. TRUTH: Are we excited about coming into God’s presence? Do we celebrate each moment we spend in front of the throne of God? Do we realize that every day God wants to meet with us and share with us? God wants an intimate relationship with us and we have the opportunity to come before the Creator of the Universe. Do we display our joy in this relationship for others to see? RESPONSE: Lord, You are amazing and I love You. With gladness and joy I will do anything and everything You ask of me. I praise You…

VERSE: Psalm 99:6–Moses and Aaron were among His priests, and Samuel was among those who call on His name; They called upon the Lord and He answered them.

VERSE: Psalm 97:7–Let all those be ashamed who serve graven images, who boast themselves of idols; worship Him, all you gods. TRUTH: Do we give anything a higher priority than God? Anything we place above God has become an idol and can include such things as money, security, popularity, or success, among many others. These things are not wrong, but pursuing them above God will lead to our shame. All these other things will eventually bow down and worship the one true God. RESPONSE: Lord, let nothing come between me and You. I want to love and serve You only.

VERSE: Psalm 96:3–Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples. TRUTH: Yes, we know that God is amazing and wonderful, but do we share it with others? Do we actively look for opportunities to tell of His glory and wonderful deeds? While we must each come to the place where we make an individual decision about our relationship with God, that doesn’t mean we are to be silent and private about it. We must tell. RESPONSE: Lord, it can be easy to just know the truth of Your majesty, but not be sharing it regularly. I pray that today Your glory and deeds will…
