Psalm 92
Has anyone ever woken up in the morning to pray or lied down at night to pray and not found at least one thing to give thanks to God?? I know, me either. In fact, it is 1,000% the opposite. I bet anyone of us could sit down and write a list to last all day long of everything in our lives that we could thank God for. I mean, He has given all of us everything that we have so far achieved or received. He brought us through yesterday, gave us this day today, and God willing that we wake up tomorrow and are blessed to praise Him for all we have again until our time on Earth is done.
Psalm 92 is a reminder of this, to be thankful while also being humble. Sing about His love in the morning and His faithfulness at night. There will never be a shortage of reasons for any of us to never give thanks to and worship God. The cycle will repeat every day for the rest of your life.
What we see in the second half of this passage is familiar throughout many stories and messages in the bible. The wicked always seem to flourish momentarily but it never lasts forever. It’s the righteous who are always the last left standing. Verse 12, “The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon”. This is God’s people, compared to those that seem to be doing great for a while but wither away, much like a weed. Even when the tree gets older, it stays fruitful, fresh and full of life.
Verse 15, “The Lord is upright; He is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in Him.”
