This week we were challenged in our small group Bible study to read this Psalm every day for the week, and see how it influences our week. I am challenging you to do the same. At the end of the week ask yourself these questions:
- Did you find yourself praising God more this week?
- Was your outlook on life affected?
- Did you proclaim His mighty works to others more than other weeks?
- Did you notice anything else?
Today as I read through, verses 8 & 9 stood out to me the most - words like gracious, compassionate, slow to anger, rich in love. So thankful to serve a God who is described in these ways.
Psalm 145[a]
A psalm of praise. Of David.
1 I will exalt you, my God the King;
I will praise your name for ever and ever.
2 Every day I will praise you
and extol your name for ever and ever.
