A most loved and beautiful Psalm! A wonderful affirmation of the loving provision and guidance of God our Good Shepherd. Be blessed today in His goodness and mercy.

Seven centuries before the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, King David of Israel was given a prophetic description of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. He wrote down the vision and it is in our bibles as Psalm 22. Be blessed this morning.

When God answers your prayer are you quick to give the credit? When He gives you victories for which you have prayed, do you give Him the credit? David gives a good example of offering praise to God for His rich blessings on his life.

Spoken blessings are powerful - whether in prayer or in person. This psalm is a good example of a prayer of blessing. This psalm also reminds you where to put your pride and focus -- and that is in the Lord your God.

God spoke all of creation into existence. The heavens declare His glory. Now He has spoken His Word for His followers to be blessed in their purity and radiance. Today, pray that your own words would give glory to God and be pleasing to God.

Who is like our God - the rock of our salvation? The Lord saves you, equips you and lifts you up as you trust in Him. When you pray, He hears from heaven. Today, you are set on a spacious place - the true foundation of God's Word.

Some live to reap treasure only in this life. The believer has an eternal perspective. When the believer awakes, the believer will awaken to the smile of Jesus Christ. It's a violent world in which we live but the Lord delivers His own if not in this life then with Him forever in eternity.

The boundaries for me have fallen in pleasant places. What an excellent thought! There is a lot in this world to shake us but when you place the Lord as the foundation of your life, you will not be shaken. Instead your heart will be glad and the Lord's abundance will overtake you.

Words matter. God spoke the universe into existence. The Lord pays attention to the words we speak because our words can also build up or tear down. This psalm shows the importance of speaking blessing to others.

Atheists boast in their unbelief. Yet even those who do good fall short of God's perfect standard. Praise God that He has loved us and provided for us in our need. Jesus Christ has delivered every believer from the penalty of sin and clothed us in His own righteousness.
