Psalm 26, 40, 58, 61, 62, 64
David sings songs of praise to his God who has been merciful to him, in spite of his sins. God has held him up and protected him. So, David responds with praise and worship. We serve a God who is intimately involved in our lives. He is an active participant in our everyday affairs, watching over us every moment, keeping vigil throughout the night, lighting our pathway, directing our feet, so that we might experience life to the fullest extent. Our Lord is continually spreading His wings of mercy over us to protect us from the evil one. We only need to seek out His shelter, and He is there instantly, guarding our hearts, causing our souls to soar above the calamities that would engulf us if He weren't there to protect us. Is it any wonder that we carry a song all the day long? Our lives are living praises unto our great God and King! We have every reason to sing and dance before His throne. May He be praised forevermore!
