What a great psalm of praise and gratitude. Our hearts should be so devoted. We need to remember that all good things do come from God, and we should be mindful of that and thank him for those mercies. Take a moment now to think of one act of mercy for which you can shout out a praise to God.
I love the word images for God and how his relationship can sustain us through anything. Check this out: MASTER, GUIDE, GIVER. How can we do anything but praise? I love the line, “I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.” I think I’ll commit that one to memory. You should do the same. Pick a favorite line from this psalm, one that really speaks to you today, and memorize it. Call it to mind several more times today!
Well my scripture tool box just acquired another beautiful promise to access when I need it, just like I’d take out a screwdriver when the need arises. I know the Lord is always with me. What a promise, and assurance. Just imagining what I know and trust to be true is comforting and brings a smile to my face. While I might not “see” him with my eyes, I feel him with my heart. Oh how many people who are hurting need to hear and accept this truth!

Let’s pray. Father God, my comforter and protector, thank you for being at my side, never giving up on me, even when I fail to acknowledge you. Help me be more mindful of your presence today and every day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
