Psalm 144- Fight the Good Fight, Psalm 145 - Praise the Lord!

 

Psalm 144 – Fight the Good Fight

 

Let God train you before the battle. In yourself, you are nothing, but God Loves you and equips you for what lies ahead. God does not always explain how He prepares you, so accept His disciplines by faith. David fought a lion and a bear before God let him fight a giant. Each morning, put on the whole armor of God and be ready for the trumpet call (Eph. 6:10-18).

Let God help you in the battle. God’s hand is there to strengthen and deliver you, so don’t be afraid to engage the enemy. You are fighting the Lord’s battles; He will not abandon you, (2 Chron. 20:14-19).

Sing God’s praises after the battle. Thank Him for all He has done for you personally, for your family and for your nation.

 

Psalm 145 – Praise the Lord!

 

David extols the Lord for His greatness, goodness, glory and generosity. If you are having a hard time praising the Lord today, that should help you get started! God’s people will praise Him forever, so we must learn to do it day by day.

David praises the Lord as an encouragement to others. Members of each generation need to learn to praise the Lord, so your praise is an example and witness to them.

Are others growing in their worship because of you?

 

David hears all God’s work praising Him. Nature takes on new meaning and new beauty when you realize this (Ps. 19:1-6).

When you live a life of praise, you have the Lord’s help in every situation. If you stumble, He helps you up. If you are hungry, He feeds you. If you call, He draws near. No wonder David blessed the Lord so much!
