Psalm chapter 9. Praises. Testimonies. Seekers of God.
David starts off saying,
“I will praise you oh Lord with all my heart. I will tell of all your wonders.”
We can never praise God enough. He is constantly doing things that are worthy of praise. He is constantly doing things that are worthy of us giving testimonies of them to others.
From this I have concluded:
1. I need to praise God more!
2. I need to share more with others of what God is doing!
Also from this chapter, King David speaks of our 2 options:
1. Those who don't seek God, therefore his enemies…
2. Those who do seek God.
Those who choose a life without God are not just an enemy but ones who will face his judgment. Not a place we will want to be in.
But those who do seek God will find comfort because God really loves and cares for us. He cares for The afflicted. He remembers the needy. He's a place of refuge. And he will never forsake those who seek him. There's nothing better than the Lord! Nothing compares to him! No one has loved us more so why do we love other things or people more than we love God?
1. God help me Praise You More.
2. Help me share testimonies more.
3. Help me seek You more.
We read in verse 18:
“For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.”
This connects with a couple of other verses that we see in Proverbs.
Proverbs 23:18
“Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.”
Proverbs 24:14
“Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.”
