Psalm 105:1 Give praise to the LORD, proclaim His name; make known among the nations what He has done.
Psalm 105:4 is what first jumped out at me when I read today’s psalm. It reminded me of a conversation with a friend recently about love, grace, mercy, compassion—applying it to ourselves and to others. God laid this truth on my heart during that conversation: My failings are many. His grace is abundant. His strength is sufficient.
Psalm 105:2 Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell of all His wonderful acts.
If I look to my own strength, if I trust in my own strength, I will end up exactly where I am at the end of this semester—exhausted, frustrated, depleted. When I look to the LORD, when I look to His strength, when I seek His face, THEN I have hope.
Psalm 105:3 Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for the reminder that I need to look to You, Your strength, seek Your face always. Help me, Lord, to realize when I’m trying to do life in my own strength. Help me to redirect, to look to You and Your strength, always. Draw me closer. Amen.
Psalm 105:4 Look to the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.
Have a blessed day.
