Trusting God for Victory

Good morning Ekklesia

Psalm 108:1-5 (NLT)

"My heart is confident in you, O God; no wonder I can sing your praises with all my heart! Wake up, lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn with my song. I will thank you, Lord, among all the people. I will sing your praises among the nations. For your unfailing love is higher than the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May your glory shine over all the earth."

In Psalm 108, David's confidence in God's power and faithfulness is evident. Despite the challenges and uncertainties he faced, his heart remained steadfast. This psalm reminds us that our confidence should not be in our circumstances but in the God who holds all circumstances in His hands.

David begins with a declaration of his unwavering confidence in God. This confidence fuels his worship and praise, even to the point of waking the dawn with his song!

Today, let us find inspiration in David’s example. Our praise should not be confined to moments of ease and comfort but should rise even in the midst of trials. When we wake each day, let our first thoughts be of God's goodness and our first actions be of worship.

David's song also includes a proclamation of God's unfailing love and faithfulness. These attributes of God are not just comforting truths but powerful realities that we can rely on. His love is higher than the heavens, and His faithfulness reaches the clouds—boundless and eternal. When we grasp the depth of God’s love and faithfulness, our perspective shifts. We begin to see our challenges in light of His greatness.

Finally, David's desire is for God's glory to shine over all the earth. As we navigate our daily lives, our ultimate purpose is to glorify God. When we trust Him, praise Him, and proclaim His goodness, we participate in making His glory known.

Today, let your heart be confident in the Lord. Sing His praises, declare His love, and trust in His faithfulness. As you do, may His glory shine through you, bringing hope and light to the world around you. Amen.
