Selections from Psalm 111:
Praise the LORD.
I will extol the LORD with all my heart.Great are the works of the LORD;they are pondered by all who delight in them.Glorious and majestic are his deeds,and his righteousness endures forever.He has caused his wonders to be remembered;the LORD is gracious and compassionate.He provides food for those who fear him;he remembers his covenant forever.The works of his hands are faithful and just;all his precepts are trustworthy.They are steadfast for ever and ever,done in faithfulness and uprightness.He provided redemption for his people;he ordained his covenant forever—holy and awesome is his name.The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;all who follow his precepts have good understanding.To him belongs eternal praise.
Question: As you ponder the Lord and his deeds today, what comes to mind? For what will you praise him?
To do: When I am drawn to food today, I will take five minutes to “be still and know” and ask the Lord, “Why do I want food in this moment?” Psalm 111 says that he provides food for those who fear him and I will ask the Lord to show me if eating in this moment is a product of reverent fear and awe of him or if it is a product of my operating according to my fleshly impulses. I will choose, this day, to wait for that which he provides when my body needs food. I will relish the joy and freedom found when I eat for his glory.
Will you join me?
