Psalm 48:1 Great is the LORD, and most worthy of praise….
Gaining perspective can be a gift. Interestingly, I often don’t realize I need a change in perspective until it has been shared. I must admit, at this time of year, in the last months of school, with student interest waning, my perspective isn’t always great. I’m tired, grouchy, negative. But God is still great and most worthy to be praised. I would do well to remember that.
Psalm 48:8 As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD Almighty, in the city of our God: God makes her secure forever.
Not only does God make His holy city secure, He makes me secure as well. His steadfast love and provision, which are all around me, anchor me, especially during this turbulent time of year.
Psalm 48:9 Within Your temple, O God, we meditate on Your unfailing love.
Lord, You are great, and most worthy to be praised. Thank You for Your steadfast love and presence. Thank You for surrounding me with so many reasons to praise You. Especially now, when I am cranky and tired, help me to focus on Your abundant blessings in my life. Help me to meditate on Your unfailing love and to praise Your holy name. Amen.
Psalm 48:14 For this God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our guide even to the end.
Have a blessed day.
