I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
Psalm 9:1-2, 10-11
In 1986, a popular song entitled, “what have you done for me lately” was born. It's amazing how that phrase had such an impact and not to mention that I still hear it occasionally being used today. I can imagine David asking the people while penning this psalm, “What has He done for you lately?” Then proceed to tell them how he will praise Him with his whole heart and tell of his marvelous acts; how glad he was to rejoice in the Lord, the One who he puts his trust in. He tells them those who know God through His power and the majesty of His name will put their hope in Him because of His faithfulness. David said he will sing His praises and tell them just what He had done for him lately. He was happy to declare it among the people, sharing all of God's doings.
David had many things that he declared among the people, it reads throughout the book of Psalms, how God delivered him, forgave him, rescued, freed, supplied, provided and kept him safe time and time again. David declared all His wondrous doings while he confessed the good and the bad he'd done; his faults and lack of integrity at times, how he continued to give God praise even during his downfalls and his pit falls, and through his gallant deeds and his undesirable circumstances. He let it be known that God had been faithful through it all.
Nothing has changed in that respect; God is still faithful to us. I'm sure that there are a list of things that you could declare, many things that you could sing praises to His name for. I could name a few favorites: “He woke me up this morning,” "I'm still in my right mind," or "I have the activities of my limbs," Sound familiar? ... and those are just some basics. I’m sure that you could add to the list today; a list of all the marvelous works that He has done for you. Works that require great praise; works to sing about and works that we can rejoice in! If we seek Him and put our trust in Him, we are guaranteed that He will never leave or forsake us. That alone is comforting and worth sharing. Why wouldn’t we go tell the world, so that they can know of His goodness and His mercy? Let's go and declare it among the people today!
Until the morning, be blessed!
