Saturday... Ok, ok, here we are reminded again.
King David, the writer of so many of the Psalms reminds us again in Psalm 21:6 & 7 (NIV). He says, "Surely you have granted him unending blessings and make him glad with the joy of his presence. For the king trusts in the Lord; through the unfailing love of the Most High he will not be shaken."
We need to be reminded each and every morning of God's unending blessings and of our joy for God's presence. We can trust Him, we can trust Him because we know that He unfailingly loves us and in that we will not be shaken. Now that all is because we serve Him, we love Him and we follow Him.
He starts this Psalm in verse 1 by saying, "The king rejoices in your strength, Lord. How great is his joy in the victories you give!" And David goes on and lists them.
How good has God been to you? Why not stop right now and rejoice in His strength and the victories He has given you. Oh, we acknowledge all the bad that is around us. David had a lot of bad around Him. He was honest about the bad but He also was honest about all the blessings, all the victories, all of the ways that God's unfailing love came through in His life.
We can go hiking and all we do is gripe about all the rocks that are on our path or we can look around and see all the beauty. Yes, we need to be careful about all the rocks so we won't stumble but also really, really really enjoy all the beauty.
David goes on to say in verses 3-7 (NLT), "You welcomed him back with success and porsperity. You placed a crown of the finest gold on his head. He asked you to preserve his life, and you granted his request. The days of his life stretch on forever. Your victory brings him great honor, and you have clothed him with majesty. You have endowed him with eternal blessings and given him the joy of his presence. For the king trusts in the Lord. The unfailing love of the Most High will keep him from stumbling."
Let's just be reminded of all God has done for us and especially about His unfailing love and that will go a long way in keeping us from stumbling. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning
