Psalm
65- Joy in God’s Goodness
This
is a harvest psalm for believers who want to thank God for His goodness and care
during another year. Praise and prayer go up to the Lord from the hearts of
grateful people. We are told that “in everything give thanks.” I Thess. 5:18
The
whole world needs to know about the God of grace and glory. He reveals Himself
to them in creation, but they must be told the good news of salvation. God has
provided atonement. God blesses you that you might in turn be a blessing to
others.
God
is so good to send us the rain, fill the rivers, and water the fields. The
fields provide food for the flocks, and they rejoice at His kindness. We take
the rain for granted until it does not fall, and then we learn how much we need
it.
You
can find joy in God’s goodness at the beginning and ending of each day, so
don’t wait until the “crowning” of the year to praise Him.
Psalm
66 – Praise the Lord!
He
invites the whole world to praise the Lord because God loves the world and sent
His Son to be the Savior of the world. When you know Jesus as your Savior, you
have something to sing about, but do not do it alone. Share the praise!
When
you go through testing in the will of God, keep in mind that the same God who
brings you in will see you through and make you better for having been in the
furnace.
Have
you ever made promises to God when you have been in the furnace of suffering? Did
you keep those promises? When the test was over, did you praise God for what
you learned?
David
wanted to tell others that God answers prayer. Worship should lead to witness
the glory of God.
