Continue to Praise God for God Provides our Needs

Verses: Psalms 61: 1 - 8

Song inspired by the chapter:  Song has been uploaded from YouTube.com and is not my original.

My thoughts about the verses:

David starts this psalm with a weary heart.  He is struggling under the pressure of the world.  He is in hiding once again.  His foes are everywhere. 

Yet, with all of this there is one thing that needs to be pointed out that he praises God.  He doesn’t just sit back and think that he is in this alone.  He knows that God is there making sure his needs are met.  He knows that even before he prays God is there responding to his crisis.

How many times in our life do we feel like we are struggling all alone?  We have this deep down feeling that we have to solve the problem on our own.  We are stressed out trying to figure how to get through the current situation.  We feel that we have no place to turn.

Yet, if we would just take a breath and listen carefully we would hear God’s voice.  We would feel the presence of God helping us through our struggles.  We would know without any doubt that we have a God that provides our needs.  We would feel peace because we would feel the presence of God working in our life.

Think back to David he knew that God was with him.  Though he prayed for God to be is helpmate, he already knew that God was with him.  He had no true fear because he knew that he had given his life over to God.  He knew that no matter what the situations was God would help him get through it.

Is this not a lesson that we can take to heart?   No matter how big or little the situation that we are facing we need to know God is there.  We need to remember that God is carrying the biggest part of the weight.  The very fact is that those that are Christians will never be without God.  Our helpmate is already in place and we only have to let go to feel the comfort of God.

With this knowledge we should offer up our praises to our God.  We need to thank God for never leaving us.  We need to praise God for carrying us through the hard times.  We need to thank God for being with us during the good times. 

Praising God is the most important thing that we can do in our life.  We need to understand that God is always there no matter what the problem.  Thank the blessed savior for being there when things are rough.  Praise the savior for never leaving our side.  We need to acknowledge that God is always there no matter what.  In those promises we need to celebrate the one that has made us whole.

Prayer:

Praise God for loving us all the time.  Thank you for always being there no matter what is happening in our lives.  We praise you for helping us even when we feel alone.  In the name of the Risen Savior we pray.  Amen

Questions:

Are you struggling with something that you can’t handle alone?  Have you turned your problems over to God?  Do you feel the presence of God in your life?  Have you accepted the Savior in your life?  Are you offering up praises to the one that will never let you down?
