Today's Meditation - Psalms
Psalm 111:6-10
The emphasis in this chapter on the “works of the Lord” is combined with the “commandments” of God. Acknowledging Who He is and what He has done leads us to trust His wisdom and His judgments, and to obey what He says. It is as simple as that. It is quite easy for us to trust ourselves and to think that we can handle what comes our way. Life reveals eventually that we need help. The Lord is able to do far more than we could ever ask or think (Ephesians 3:20), and what He has done in the past is overwhelming proof of that fact. Trust Him with all of your heart.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 10 – “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do His commandments: His praise endureth for ever."
