Bless the Lord

Psa 28:6  Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.  Psa 28:7  The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

 This verse is a good picture of our relationship with God.  He is a prayer hearing and answering God.  He is our strength, our help, our protection in every situation.  We know His goodness and faithfulness by experience:  We have trusted Him and He has given us the help that we need.  As we let our minds meditate on God’s goodness and faithfulness, a great joy wells up inside us.  Our joy then burst forth in singing and praising Him.  Let your mind dwell on God’s goodness and allow your thankfulness to lead to joy and praise.
