Nutritionist remind us that we must have minimum daily requirements of vitamins and minerals if we are to be physically healthy. Similarly, David gives God’s minimum daily requirements we need if we are to be spiritually healthy.

The first requirement is praise (vv.1,2). Praise means giving thanks for all that God is, all that He does and all that He shares with us. Praise is rejoicing in the presence of the Lord because of who He is and because we are His children.

Prayer also is essential (v.1). We call upon the Lord when we need strength and grace and help in time of need. And He always hears us.

Witnessing is another element (vv.1-3). If we only Praise and Pray but don’t present the Lord to other people, our lives will become narrow, shallow and selfish. We need to tell others that He is the only Savior.

The final requirement is seeking His face (v.4). In other words, leave in the light of God’s continents. Live with the smile of God upon your life and seek to please Him alone.

Just as your physical health requires care, so does your spiritual health. God’s minimum daily requirements helps you maintain a healthy spiritual life. Make sure you meet your daily minimum. It will please Him and bring glory to Him.
