Those Who Love His Name
Shall Live In It
But I am lowly and in pain; let your salvation, O God, protect
me.
I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him
with thanksgiving. This will please the LORD more than an ox or a bull with
horns and hoofs. Let the oppressed see it and be glad; you who seek God, let
your hearts revive. For the LORD hears the needy, and does not despise his own
that are in bonds.
Let heaven and earth praise him, the seats and everything that
moves in them. For God will save
Psalm 69:29-36
David’s lyrics assure us that it is not the rich or the powerful
who have reason to be glad but those who are humble
and right with God. If you are feeling poor and powerless today, you can still
be glad. You can have something of far more value: a debt-free relationship
with God.
When we stop defending our own sinful ways and humbly
acknowledge that God’s ways are right, true gladness will spring forth in songs
of glorious praise.
Joy is the result of a right
relationship with God.
