Psalm 92
Psalm 92
It is good to praise the Lord
and make music to your name, O Most High,
proclaiming your love in the morning
and your faithfulness at night,
to the music of the ten-stringed lyre
and the melody of the harp.
For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord;
I sing for joy at what your hands have done.
How great are your works, Lord,
how profound your thoughts!
Senseless people do not know,
fools do not understand,
that though the wicked spring up like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.
But you, Lord, are forever exalted.
For surely your enemies, Lord,
surely your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.
You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox;
fine oils have been poured on me.
My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;
my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.
The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
planted in the house of the Lord,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.
They will still bear fruit in old age,
they will stay fresh and green,
proclaiming, “The Lord is upright;
he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.”
Some days are full of praise. Some days joy is around every corner. Some days I am in awe of the blessings of God.
Despite several days of hardship and years of uncertainty, I find myself at peace in my Rock and Redeemer. I find myself full of praise and joy.
Now certainly not every day promises to be easy; not every day will be filled with sunshine. But certainly, thanks to Jesus Christ, every day is filled with hope.
No matter what I face, His works are magnificent. No matter what happens, His mercies are new every morning. Even in hardship, He promises to refresh and restore me. Even now, after a very tough few months, I am blessed by new jobs, new opportunities and new beginnings. I am blessed in these moments of stillness as He reminds me of all He is and all He has done for me.
Today, I choose joy. I choose not to worry about the past or the future. I choose to dwell in my upright Lord and Savior. I choose to abide in my refuge and rest in His strength. I choose to dwell and marvel at His workings in my life. I choose to praise His blessings.
Because when I choose Him, I find the troubles of this world seem to fade away. When I choose His love, I lose sight of the hardships and I am overtaken by His peace. Truly it is good to praise Him, because it helps me remember all He has given me. It helps me to remember everything that He is.
He is my Rock. He is my Redeemer. May I always look to Him in moments of triumph and in moments of turmoil. Through it all, He stays the same. Through it all, He is worthy of my praise. My precious Lord and Redeemer, may I praise you in everything I do and say. Let me not forget your goodness but always hold on tightly to your love and mercy. No matter what happens, help me always choose you. In joys and in hardships, may I keep my eyes fixed on you. May I always choose to sing for joy because you are my salvation forevermore.
