Psa. 52:8 & 9, But I
am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God's
unfailing love forever and ever. I will praise you forever for what you
have done; in your name I will hope, for your name is good. I will praise
you in the presence of your saints.
Dear Brothers and Sisters
of our “Baroda Bible Club”,
Loving greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ. This month let us see what God has for us in this month of May
2002 and also about the importance of Praising God among the people of
God, who can understand the greatness of our Lord. In this Psalm it says
as in Psa 52: 8 & 9, four valuable things to meditate
today.
Psa. 52:8 & 9, But I
am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in
God's unfailing love forever and ever.
- I am like an olive tree flourishing
in the house of God. – [The people who meditate the word of God day
and night and trust in the Lord will be like a olive tree as in Zec
4:14 So he said, "These are the two who are anointed to serve the
Lord of all the earth." They will serve the Lord and be close to
God.]
- I am flourishing in the house
of God – [Flourishing in the house of God is a great experience
to any one. In Psa 42:4 These things I remember as I pour out my soul:
how I used to go with the multitude, leading the procession to the house
of God, with shouts of joy and thanksgiving among the festive throng.
Also in Eccl 5:1 Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go
near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not
know that they do wrong.]
- I trust in God's unfailing love forever
and ever. – [God is not a man to change his heart so God is unfailing
in his love and in his action but how many of us are trusting like David
in the unfailing love of God. With his love he has lifted us.]
- I will praise you forever for
what you have done; - [every one of us must have a grateful heart
in which we will remain grateful to God for what he was to us in our
personal life as in Psa 136:23 Who remembered us in our lowly state,
For His mercy endures forever;]
- In your name I will hope,
- [In Psa 124:8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven
and earth. Also in Gen. 16:13 Then she called the name of the LORD
who spoke to her, You-Are-the-God-Who-Sees; for she said, "Have
I also here seen Him who sees me?"]
- For your name is good. - [The
bible says all good things are coming from God as in James 1:17 Every
good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from
the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
Also in Psa 148:13 “Let them praise the name of the LORD, For His name
alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.]
- I will praise you in the presence
of your saints. – [When we praise God among the saints as a testimony
they will also get exited and praise the Lord more with you. Psa
26:12 My feet stand on level ground; in the great assembly I will praise
the LORD. Also in Psa 107:32 Let them exalt him in the assembly of
the people and praise him in the council of the elders. In Psa 111:1
Praise the LORD. I will extol the LORD with all my heart in the council
of the upright and in the assembly.]
May the Lord help us to have more grateful
heart and thank God for all his good works as a testimony among the saints.
Amen.
