Praise the Lord

Suggested Readings To Read The Bible Through In A Year

Wednesday    April 7, 2010   Joshua 19-20 and Psalm 54

Reading David’s song, Psalm 54, this morning I am reminded of a song that we sang in a trio several years ago. It was written by Brown Bannister and Mike Hudson. The lyrics to the song follow:

Praise The Lord (Title)

Verse 1

When you're up against a struggle

That shatters all your dreams

And your hopes have been crushed

By Satan's manifested schemes

And you feel the urge within you

To submit to earthly fears

Don't let the faith you're standin' in

Seem to disappear

Chorus 1

Praise the Lord

He can work through those who praise Him

Praise the Lord

For our God inhabits praise

Praise the Lord

For the chains that seem to bind you

Serve only to remind you

That they drop powerless behind you

When you praise Him

Verse 2

Now Satan is a liar

And he tries to make us think

That we are paupers when he knows himself

We're children of the King

So lift up the mighty shield of faith

The battle has been won

We know that Jesus Christ is risen

And the work's already done

In Psalm 54, and Psalm 52 David shows us what to do when life is not fair - when things are looking bad – when others are out to get you . . . keep your eyes on the Lord! Remember that God is still on the Throne. Remember that God has been faithful thus far. Remember that “surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.” And because that is so, I am going to “praise your name, O LORD!”
