RE Verse reading–Psalm 34 (day six) “I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips” (vs 1) It is changing my life! Something that I learned late, and glad to know even now. To survive is not the highest goal. To succeed is secondary. To serve and praise God is my first and best responsibility. “I will bless the Lord at all times“, says young David in the midst of a circumstance that would have destroyed most of us. (See superscription for the historical context.) “His praise will be always on my lips.” All times! Not just when things are good. Always! Not just when I feel safe or happy. Praise is not something we give God as payment for services rendered. It is not something we owe Him in prosperity. At an early age (before he was 30) David came to a life-changing discovery. “Rejoice always. . .in everything give thanks” (1 Thessalonians 5:16, 18) All times! Always!
Amen.
