Psalm 43:5
“Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.”O child of God, why do we worry and fret so much in this life? Why do we allow the things we see and hear in this old sinful world get us down and at times trod us into the ground? Where is our hope today? Our hope, our true hope is in the Lord our God!!!
Yet we so often times and many often many times a day put our hope in the things of this life and of this world. We become disconnected with our Heavenly Father because of our sin of worry and concern for things that only cause us to drift from the one who gives us true hope. Remember, He promised to never leave us, it is us who stray from Him.
As the verse above says “I shall yet praise him” so I encourage all of us. Praise Him!!! Praise Him!!! When the tempest toss and and all seems loss in this life, praise Him!!! When we are at our lowest point and there seems no way out, praise Him!!! When He sends blessings and life seems so grand, praise Him!!! Praise Him without ceasing!!!
O that we all as His children would come to the knowledge and understanding of how important praising our Lord is to our spiritual well being. O that we would love Him so that His commandments are not grievous to us. O that our witness to those around us would be glorifying to our Lord and Savior.
Praise ye the Lord!!!
