Psalm 108:1-6 A song. A psalm of David. "My heart is confident in You, O God; no wonder I can sing Your praises with all my heart! Wake up, lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn with my song. I will thank You, LORD, among all the people. I will sing Your praises among the nations. For Your unfailing love is higher than the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May Your glory shine over all the earth. Now rescue Your beloved people. Answer and save us by Your power."
Thank the Lord that He is willing and able to save us if we will confess our sins and invite Jesus into our hearts.
I love the way that David starts this Psalm out with confidence in God. Abiding in the Lord by being faithful to & submitting with certainty. He wakes up with a joy and thanks God. He sings praises and thinks on the unfailing love of His heavenly Father. God's love is what draws us to Himself. He is so much easier on us than we are on our self or others.
God is worthy of much glory and our life is to be about making His greatness known. The world tells us about how we are suppose to strive for our own glory but its really not about us. We are sinners saved by God's grace. He has beautiful and full lives planned for us. He wants us to be strong in Him thru trials. He will give us peace and rest if we turn to Him.
The word "beloved" sticks out to me. "Beloved" means dearly loved such as a husband or wife. I also think of a best friend or children as beloved. We serve such a wonderful, loving Father. I feel like God wants us to strive to love all people as His beloved.
