Psalm and Praise, Day 44

Why do we boast? Read Psalm chapter 44.

As we read through this psalm, it’s really a tale of two stories. We have the beginning of the psalm where the army is victorious and they are praising God. Then we have the ending of the psalm where the army is struggling and experiencing defeat and still praising God.

When we go through difficulties and challenges, we are to praise God, but it’s important to remember that during the successes of our lives we must praise God as well. We have nothing to be proud of or to boast in except for the Lord. When we think about all that is good in our life, it is only because of God’s grace and mercy.

Are we following and praising God through the good times just as much as we are seeking his help and protection during the difficult times?
