FAMILY OF FAITH MINISTRIES.
Good morning. The Peace of God be with you all. Rejoice in the Lord always. "Shout for joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious. Say to God, 'How awesome are your deeds! ... All the earth bows down to you.'” Psalm 66:1-4 NIV.
Insight: The Bible doesn’t tell us the specific inspiration for this psalm. But the conclusions could apply to any situation and the psalmist’s collected life experiences. He realized that God’s deeds were awesome. His power was so great that “Your enemies cringe before You” in verse 3 and “all the earth bows down to You.”
He wanted others to understand the reasons for this celebration, to “come and see what God has done.” He wanted them to realize how He had saved and helped His people in amazing ways. They could see that He “has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping” in verses 5, 9.
The psalmist recognized that God had tested them, allowing them to go through “fire and water.” In the process, He had refined them like silver. But after bringing them through these difficult experiences, God had brought them “to a place of abundance” in verse 12.
The psalmist promised to come before God and keep every vow he had made. He invited all who fear God to hear his testimony, so he could tell them all God had done for him.
Challenge: We should follow the example of the psalmist. We must be grateful and amazed by what God has and still is doing in our lives. We must not hesitate to worship God. Shout for joy and “sing the glory of his name", today. As we praise God, we must invited others to come and rejoice of His goodness also.
Prayer: Father, thank You for all You have done for me. I shout for joy! In Jesus mighty name. Amen.🙏🏼🔥🙌🏼💖
