Bible in a Year :
I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing the praises of your name.
Queen Elizabethās simple statement echoes the testimonies of men and women throughout history whoāve experienced the personal, faithful care of God in their lives. Itās this theme underlying a beautiful song King David wrote as he reflected on his life. Recorded in 2 Samuel 22, the song speaks of Godās faithfulness in protecting David, providing for him, and even rescuing him when his very life was in danger (vv. 3ā4, 44). In response to his experience of Godās faithfulness, David wrote, āI will sing the praises of your nameā (v. 50).
While thereās added beauty when Godās faithfulness is seen over a long lifetime, we donāt have to wait to recount His care in our lives. When we recognize that itās not our own abilities that carry us through life but the faithful care of a loving Father, weāre moved to gratitude and praise. .
Reflect & Pray
How have you seen Godās faithfulness? How might you express your gratitude to Him?
Heavenly Father, Iām so grateful that in every season of lifeāsorrow or joyāIāve seen Your faithfulness.
