PRAISE THE LORD, O MY SOUL / PSALMS 103:1-2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 103:1-2

Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

PRAISE THE LORD, O MY SOUL / PSALMS 103:1-2

This psalm expresses thanksgiving and praise to the Lord for the benefits and blessings He gives those who accept His commands and promises and who maintain a faithful relationship with Him. We must never forget God’s goodness to us (Deuteronomy 8:12-14; 2 Chronicles 32:25) or fail to thank Him for the blessings He generously gives us through the Holy Spirit (Psalms 103:3-16; Acts 2:38; Acts 2:39; Acts 9:17-18; John 14:16).

THE LORD IS GRACIOUS / PSALMS 145:8

START YOUR DAY RIHGT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 145:8

The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.

THE LORD IS GRACIOUS / PSALMS 145:8

This phrase is often repeated and expresses God’s delight in showing mercy (Exodus 34:6-7). When He sees misery, it brings out His compassion. Wehn we offend Him, He is slow to become angry and quick to show love and mercy to those who humbly request His forgiveness (Exodus 3:7; Judges 2:18).

EVERY DAY I WILL PRAISE YOU / PSALMS 145:1-2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 145:1-2

(David’s Psalm of praise.) I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

2Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

EVERY DAY I WILL PRAISE YOU / PSALMS 145:1-2

We should never let a day pass without praising and thanking God for His blessings and gifts to us. He is our Maker, Redeemer (Savior) and Provider (Psalms 34:1). In other words, we owe Him our lives because

  1. He created us.
  2. He paid the highest price to “buy back” (redeem) our lives and set us free from sin (Acts 20:28; 1 Corinthians 6:20).
  3. He continues to generously proved everything we need. All of this is more than enough reason to be eternally grateful to God and to honor Him with our lives.

BLESSED – THE LAW / PSALMS 119:1

START YOU DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 119:1

ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.

BLESSED – THE LAW / PSALMS 119:1

BLESSED

God promises to generously bless those who have chosen to live by His Word with its standards, guidelines, instructions, commands and promises. They will enjoy His personal presence (Genesis 26:3), which will bring them strength, help and protection (Ephesians 3:16; Colossians 1:11; Luke 24:50).

THE LAW

The law (Hebrew torah) represents God’s entire instruction to His people. It can also refer to the Pentateuch (the first five Old Testament books, or to the Old Testament as a whole.

MY SON TODAY I HAVE BECOME YOUR FATHER / PSALMS 2:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 2:7

I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

MY SON TODAY I HAVE BECOME YOUR FATHER / PSALMS 2:7

“Become your father” literally translates “brought you forth.” A similar phrase was used to describe a woman giving birth, but it was also a technical term for a king presenting his son before the people. The king proclaimed, or officially announced, his son as king along with his father (1 Kings 1:32-34, where David did this for his son, Solomon). Here it applies to Jesus’ public proclamation as God’s Son and His anointing (commissioning, empowerment, authority) as the ultimate prophet, priest, and king (Matthew 3:12; Acts 13:33; Hebrews 1:5; 5:5; 7:28; 2 Peter 1:21).

THE WICKED / PSALMS 1:4-6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 1:4-6

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

THE WICKED / PSALMS 1:4-6

Psalms 1 uses three thought-provoking pictures to describe those who resist God and choose to go their own way:

  1. They are like “chaff” (the dried coverings from grain or grass seeds) blown away by forces they cannot see (Psalms 1:4; Ephesians 2:2).
  2. They are the ones who will be condemned on the judgment day (Psalms 1:5; 76:7; Malachi 3:2; Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 6:17).
  3. They are the ones who will perish for eternity (Psalms 1:6; Matthew 10:28).

MY ROCK MY FORTRESS AND MY DELIVERER / PSALMS 18:2

START YOU DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

MY ROCK MY FORTRESS AND MY DELIVERER / PSALMS 18:2

The symbolism of this verse applies to our ongoing life struggles against physical and spiritual forces. God’s care for us is described by six symbols:

  1. “My rock” – representing the safety and security of God’s steadfast strength (Psalms 31:2-3; 42:9; 62:7)
  2. “My fortress” – representing a place of refuge and safety that the enemy cannot penetrate
  3. “My deliverer” – representing God’s ability to rescue and free people from trouble.
  4. “My shield” – representing how God Steps between us and harm (Genesis 15:1)
  5. “Horn of my salvation” – representing God’s strength and victorious power to save us

“My stronghold” – representing the fact that if we hold firmly to God and remain in a right relationship with Him, He will provide security and will lift us above the dangers of life.
