Day 13
Psalm 43:1–5
The Psalms are a good place to camp out if your
heart’s desire is to be grateful—though not because
they’re filled with nothing but happy, upbeat
sentiments. They vibrate with every emotion known
to man. They speak of back-breaking pressures,
deep valleys of depression, and times when life barely
seems worth living. And yet the Psalms reveal that
the only ultimate answer to trouble, grief, pain, and
loss is a constant returning to God in worship and
gratitude.
Even in the darkest night, you can still experience His
peace and rest, knowing that the joy of morning is
ahead. Resolve not to let your joy level be
determined by the presence or absence of storms,
but by the presence of God. Choose to be joyful in
Him today.
Choose a few psalms to read throughout the day
(aloud if possible). See if they don’t cause praise and
thanks to well up in your heart.
I love the psalms and try and read some everyday, same with
the Proverbs.
Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to Lord, for He IS good! For
His mercy endures forever. Ps. 106:1
