My thoughts about the verses:

This is a psalm about praising God.  Giving up thanksgiving for all that has been done for us.  There is no reason to be afraid.  God is with us helping us through all things.

Think about all the things that have happened in your life.  Many of us see struggles and pain in our life.  Yet, we are here today which means we had helped to get through it.  God is our rock and our strength.  God is our refuge who shelters us when we have struggles.

Take each day and thank God for all you have.  Thank God for all the struggles that you have gone through and overcame.  Praise God for the gift of everlasting life.  Praise God for sending the precious Lamb so that we could be made free.

God doesn’t care about our sacrifices.  We don’t have to worry about doing things to please God.  We need to concentrate on loving God.  We need to lift up our prayers of praise and thanksgiving.

We need to know that we have Jesus is walking with us.  The Holy Spirit needs to be praised for walking with us.  We need to lift up our praises as often as we lift up our prayers.

Think to that moment when Jesus offered up prayers.  He thanked the Creator for all that had been given to him.  He praised God for the love that flowed.  This teaches us the simple lesson to thank God each and every time we pray.  Know that thanking God is just as important as asking for healing, help or our multitude of needs.  

God already knows what we need.  It is the act of thanking God that is essential for our life to be complete.  Think about this can you imagine how close your relationship would be to God if you praised God.  Every time you pray the first thought needs to become praise to God.  You need to know that as you love God and praise God your life will become more complete.

Prayer:

Thank you God for all you do.  Thank you for your Son.  Thank you for loving us even when we didn’t deserve it.  We praise you for your steadfast love.  In the Name of the Holy One we pray.  Amen

Questions:

Do you praise God?  Do you see all the things God does for you each day?  Do you need to start sending up praises?  Is today the day that you begin showing love to God for the forgiveness you have received?
