Psalm 46:10a; Psalm 105 - "Praise You In This Storm"


Psalm 105 is very clear on how we, the believer, should have for an attitude toward God. He has done, and will continue to do, so much for us as we seek Him. 

  • We are to praise Him (verse 1)
  • We are to pray to Him (verse 4)
  • We must remember what He has done for us (verse 5)
  • We must be joyful in Him (verse 3)
  • We must proclaim His love (verse 1)

This morning as I read Psalm 105 I started thinking about how people look at how we live. Many times what they see determines if they want to follow the Lord or not. If we are negative and always crabby, why would they want to be a believer? We need to show His love through our words and actions. I am not saying life is a bed of roses BUT when there are tough days we should not complain but instead seek more of Him. His strength is the only thing to get us through tough days. The empowerment of the Holy Spirit is the only way to live. When doctors and testing don't have answers, we need to trust in the Lord to reveal things in His time. We, as humans, can get antsy in waiting but it is in the waiting room the greatest work can be done by the Lord. Our faith can go deeper, our trust can be fuller, our love can be multiplied...all as we wait. I go back to yesterday's verse...when we are still and wait on Him, He will be glorified in the greatest way.

Dear Jesus,
Thank You the testing Doc had yesterday no red flags. Father, his pain continues and his frustration grows with no answers. Lord, be glorified through his pain. I pray for your empowerment to come down upon him in a great way. Thank You for the witness he gave yesterday with the nurses. Thank You for loving us so greatly. Thank You for being our strength. Father, today is a new day. His pain continues but more importantly You continue to be our strength. Be our words, actions, attitude and focus throughout this day. You are such a blessing! Thank You for being The One We Praise! Amen.
