The beginning of Psalms 34 is convicting... "I will bless the Lord at all times"
Do we really bless God at all times? Or do we bless the Lord only when things are going well?
My brother in law gave me some of the best parenting advice I've ever heard. He said, "When a baby cries, consider it a monastic calling of the bells to go to God and pray every time you hear those cries"
Last night, I was rocking Merritt and praying to God, thanking Him for the wonderful gift of my kids and wife.
I don't always get it right, but in that moment, I was overwhelmed by the goodness of God's grace and the sweet blessings Christ has given us.
God takes us wherever we are and holds us fast, until we are asleep in His arms just like Merritt was asleep in the picture above.
I pray today that we would bless the Lord at all times, reminding ourselves of the incredible blessings that God has given us.
Psalms 34 starts with a convicting line... "I will bless the Lord at all times
I will bless the Lord at all times
Psalms 34- Bless God At All Times
When the world is in despair
I trust in God who is wise
There is nothing good apart from God
I will boast in Christ Jesus
Magnify the Lord with me
And praise the One who sees us
God answered my prayers
Took me from the lowest of lows
To the highest of highs
Jesus saved me from my woes
Taste and see that the Lord is good!
More satisfying than the best meal
Those who take refuge in Him
Find their hearts healed
God redeems us from nothing
Molds us like clay
Fashions our hearts into a life worth living
Guiding us every step of the way
