Psalm and Praise, Day 120 Save me! Read Psalm chapter 120. There have been several times in my life that I have cried out to God to save me. At this point, this verse really sticks out to ne. I know that there are people who are not being truthful about situations. I can only plead my case to God and continue to ask him to intervene. I know that God knows the truth of the situation. I know that God desires to be glorified in the situation. I can’t wait to see how God chooses to move through it. But, there is very little that I can do to…

Psalm and Praise, Day 119 God’s Word. Read Psalm 119. It’s always such an accomplishment to read through Psalm 119. This chapter of 176 verses is full of praise and adoration for the word of God. When we think about all that God’s word is and all that it does in our lives, it’s so amazing to think that God provided it for us to be able to know him better and to love him more. Looking through this chapter, it’s always hard to pick out just 1 or 2 verses, but today these verses stuck out to me. We really only have two options, either we will love and…

Psalm and Praise, Day 117 The character of who God is. Read Psalm chapter 117. It didn’t take a lot of words to describe who God is. Now, we can certainly use a lot of words, but the psalmist chose to be very direct in his communication in the chapter. God is loving and faithful, and we can expect that to never change. Are we resting in the consistency of who God is and how he wants to work in our lives?

Psalm and Praise, Day 116 He saved me when I wasn’t even aware of it. Read Psalm chapter 116. We often think of God as our savior and the one who comes to our help when we are in distress, but often that’s more about us praying to God for help and listing out the reasons and the ways that we need his help. Here, we see that God is actually saving us from a great many things that we aren’t even aware of. We don’t always have to pray and ask for God’s help to save us. He saves us anyway from the things that are crushing down on…

Psalm and Praise, Day 115 We become like what we praise. Read Psalm chapter 115. The psalmist writes about praising the Lord, but then he goes into a description of the idols that others worship. It’s a great reminder that we become what we praise and value. When the people praised and valued the idols that can’t see, can’t hear, and can’t do anything, they became like that. Will we be focused on praising the Lord and him alone?

Psalm and Praise, Day 114 The earth praises God. Read Psalm chapter 114. It is never just us that praise God. God created the earth and so it also will praise God. The earth understands who it’s creator is. The earth is always trembling before the holy God. Will we recognize what the earth already knows? Will we praise God as he is worthy of praise?

Psalm and Praise, Day 112 No fear. Read Psalm chapter 112. I would like to be able to say that this describes me, but most days I am afraid of hearing the next piece of terrible news. I know that God has all of it handled, but I just get tired of having to deal with the difficult news and problems. I almost just expect bad things to happen. God is still God, even when it is not the news I wanted. Am I trusting in him, even in the dark times?

Psalm and Praise, Day 110 Rule over enemies. Read Psalm chapter 110. As we read through this very famous chapter in psalms, we understand that God is truly going to rule over everything. There’s nothing that is outside of God’s control or rule. When he insists that we call him Lord, it is because that is his truest title over absolutely everything. Are we treating him as Lord and giving him the glory that is due him? Are we allowing him to make the decisions that he deserves to make in our lives? Ours is simply to obey, are we doing that?
