In this Psalm, David gives God praise in such a way that it is known as the most perfect song of pure praise found in the whole of Scripture. It's a Psalm that comes from a glad heart, and David's heart was delighted when he wrote this Psalm. David declares Praise the Lord, O my soul. Why? He had a sense of being thankful to God for his goodness, and it's as if he felt like his soul was not praising and thanking God enough. He did an introspective by looking internally and commanding his soul to praise the Lord.

Command your soul to give your God the Praise he deserves. O My Soul, praise the Lord for all his goodness and benefits towards me. David went more profound than superficial praise; he understood that everything within him had to glorify God. When we praise God, sometimes it's halfheartedly, like God is begging us to praise. God is complete within himself; the praise is not for him as much as it is for us.

Have you noticed that something changes in your life when you praise God? You're transformed; you have a sense of God's presence. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, then your praise might not be coming from within; it's not coming from a place of gratitude; it's most likely superficial.

Reflect on His Goodness today, and break out in spontaneous praise!

Challenge:

Can you praise God for his goodness even when things are not perfect? Give him the glory, and watch the situations around you change.
