My heart is fixed: I will definitely praise the Lord early and often; I will praise Him with music and gusto; I will praise Him whether I am among believers or unbelievers. I will praise the Lord because His love, His faithfulness, and His glory is so big and grand the whole earth cannot contain them. Love, faithfulness and glory reaches to the heavens and beyond. The love of Christ is so high and deep and broad and wide that we can’t comprehend it or believe it; so ask Him to show you.
Once I have the proper perspective on the size of God’s Love I confidently ask for His help from trouble caused by my enemies. My spiritual enemies are trying to take away my peace (they actually can’t) by my surrendering it through unbelief. They seek to steal my joy of living (they actually can’t) by drawing my attention away from Jesus alone.
Man’s help is vain: “all the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put me together again.” But with the Lord we will do valiantly: it is He who will tread down our enemies. Praise Him for his love: it restores peace and joy.
