I will Praise You!

I will Praise you!

"I will praise you, Lord, among the peoples; I will sing the praises to you among the nations. For your faithful love is as high as heaven; your faithfulness reaches the clouds. God, be exalted above the heavens; let your glory be over the whole earth" Psalm 57: 9-11 CSB

The Psalmist is asking for God's gracious protection, I call to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.  He reaches down from heaven and saves me, challenging to the one who tramples me.  God sends his faithful love and truth. (Ps. 57:2-3) I read this and my heart soars! I'm in trouble I have an enemy who want to see me destroyed.  In my own strength, I am powerless against this enemy who want to keep me in chains of sin.  Reading this I am reminded it is God who fulfills his purpose in me.  He is the wind beneath my wings.  He has reached down from heaven and he challenges the one who would imprison me.  He defeated him by sending his faithful love and truth.  "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.  We observed his glory, the glory of the One and Only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14)

God reached down!  He descended and dwelt among us!  He rescued us from our sin, he rescued us from our enemy.  We are free in Christ and God has been gracious to us!  Oh, I will praise my Lord, I tell people of his glory.  I will praise him from the roof top of my life and nations will hear!  I will tell of his faithful love that is higher than the heavens.  He is exalted and his glory fills the earth!   

I don't know where you are this morning. Maybe you feel defeated and worn down.  This morning I just want to encourage you in the Lord.  Realize the extraordinary lengths the Lord endured to secure your salvation.  How he has crushed the enemy and he no longer has anything to hold over you.  Jesus paid it all and we can take refuge in Him.  Praise him today!
