Announcing our new ministry: https://www.trinitypalms.org Today's Psalm reminds us to Praise the Lord at all times -- praise Him in song, praise Him in the assembly of His church. Express His praise for who He is and all He has done!

God created it all - heaven and earth, seen and unseen - and all have the obligation to give Him praise! Praise the Lord today!

Think of this -- the God who created the universe knows and cares for you. He knows when you are brokenhearted. In fact, He is magnetized to broken hearts. God heals the broken hearts that are brought to Him for healing.

When you put your hope in the God of the Bible, you are hoping in the one who created the heavens and earth. Nothing is too difficult for Him! He continually acts on behalf of His children. Put your Hope in the God of the Bible today!

Our Lord is full of compassion and righteousness. God knows us better than we know ourselves - yet fully loves us all the same. As His children, we will fall and need to be picked up. Our loving Father upholds us when we fall and are bowed down. Praise Him!

Here's an awesome thought - the Creator of the Universe knows and cares for you! In fact, God created it all so as to gather to Himself a family of faith. He is aware of your life. Never doubt it. Have confidence in His care for you.

The Lord has created our world in which we get a new start every 24 hours. A new day! God's unfailing love can be reinforced to you every morning as you turn to His Word and His Spirit for guidance and encouragement.

Loneliness is epidemic in today's crowded world. There are times when you may feel alone in your concerns. You may even feel that there is nobody who cares. Often times that's just our feelings speaking and not really the fact. But one thing is sure: the Lord cares for you! He is you refuge and strength!

James, Jesus half-brother, wrote the tongue is a fire and can burn down the entire path of life. This psalm has a powerful prayer that God help us be careful in what we say so that our words encourage and bless.

Have you ever felt surrounded? Have you ever felt you were in a battle? Good news -- Our Lord fights our battles! When we trust in Him, when we call on Him, He takes charge of our circumstances for our good and His glory!

Good news! The Lord never loses sight of you! You can't get lost in a crowd. You run but you can't hide. The Lord has His eyes on you - because you are His child. His love will not let you go! Praise Him for His faithful love!

Have you ever felt timid or reluctant? The Lord can give you boldness through His Word and Spirit. When you pray, you can find the strength that you need to face whatever circumstances. Praise the Lord today!

Do you have a sad memory of something or lost? It's not easy to find joy or sing a happy song at such times. So was the lot of the Jews who were exiled in Babylon after the siege of Jerusalem as they remembered what was lost. Have you ever wanted to strike back and a quietly hoped that it would go badly for someone? It's best to allow the Lord to fight our battles and heal our wounds.

Repetition is God's hi-lighter. This psalm has one phrase repeated 26 times! That phrase is, "His love endures forever!" Here God makes it clear through exaggerated redundancy that His love will never fail - His love endures - forever!

It's good to be reminded that we should praise the Lord daily and continually! All His works are good. Think of the many blessings the history of your own life - then Praise the Lord!

Do you pray for your pastors? Do you pray for people in ministry or in missions around the world? Throughout the NT letters, Paul and other Apostles ask for the church to pray for them. This brief Psalm reminds us to pray for those who minister.

We live in a fractured world! So much division - deep and seemingly unbridgeable. There is a unity that is possible in Christ. It starts with the people of God. Ask the Lord to bless your home, church and community with an anointing of unity.

God promises and follows through. God makes an oath and it comes to pass. You can trust God's word! Every one of His promises are true. God made an oath to David that one of his descendants would be the forever King in Israel. Jesus was David's descendent! King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

Life is busy, noisy, stressful and even chaotic at times. The psalmist mentions one of the most important skills anyone can have - a skill to pass along to your children. He wrote that he "calmed and quieted myself. " Blessings on you today!

Praise God - Jesus took our sin debt and nailed it to the cross! The loving and forgiving nature of God is emphasized in this psalm -- and so it foreshadows Jesus sacrifice on the cross for our sins. Bless the Lord! Put your hope in Him!

Have you thought about the power of words? Specifically, have you thought about the power of blessing? Offering or withholding blessing was a big deal in the pages of scripture. Pray for discernment before offering or withholding blessing.

God's blessings on your home is among the best of all blessings. This psalm tells how to receive it. This psalm also mentions God's care and love for the Holy City, Jerusalem.

The home is the foundational unit of society, by God's design. No wonder the evil one tries so hard to disrupt and destroy families. Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who builds it. There is a quality of life that only the Lord can bring to a home. I pray that every believing family would be careful to invite Him in daily.

There is a law of sowing and reaping. You reap what you sow. Jesus Himself spoke of sowing the word of God and reaping a harvest of souls. Bless your people with a heart for the lost and empower them to share the good news of the gospel.
