Psalm 34:1-3

Psalms 34:1-3
1) I will praise the Lord at all times, I will constantly speak His praises.
2) I will boast only in the Lord; Let all who are helpless take heart.
3) Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness; let us exalt His name together. NLT

Psalms 34:1-3
1) I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2) My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; The humble shall hear it and be glad
3) Oh, magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together. NKJV

Choices! We all make choices every day. We speak life or we speak fear, doubt, and death. I believe that we must choose life. Every time, let us choose life. We will all go through hard times, tough times, painful times, but what do we talk about? I am not talking of some type of denial; we need to process issues for healing, but do we focus on the negative, hard, and painful, or do we talk of the faithfulness of God? Do our lips continually praise Him? Do we boast of the goodness of the Lord even when it is hard because at the core of our being we believe that God will make all things work for our good? In all our lives, we choose, so let us choose life, let us choose trust in the Lord, let us believe what God says no matter what we experience in this life. He is still God, trustworthy, and our redeemer. Yes, we will have tribulation in this world, but be of good cheer, He (God) has overcome the world. If we believe His Word, and trust God’s faithfulness, then praise and focusing on God’s goodness will not be difficult. You will always see God bigger than your self, trials, and anything we may encounter of the difficult and painful. So let us ask God to keep fresh in our hearts to choose life, and rest our lives on His faithfulness.
