What does Psalm 69:30 mean? →Passage Context
Devotional Reflection
When was the last time you sang praises to God outside of church or a devotional service? Why not open the Psalms and find a few verses that express your own praise and thanks to God, and then set them to music? God doesn't care if your spiritual gift is music or not; all He wants to hear is that your heart is full of joy as you praise and thank Him.
Prayer
O kind Father, You give every good and perfect gift. Please forgive me for saving my praise and thanks for special days and places. I praise You for giving Your human children the ability to celebrate good things, to be happy about what You've made, and to be able to praise and thank You. Thank You, Abba Father, for making our world so full of things for us to be thankful for. As long as You keep filling me with Your Spirit, may my heart overflow with songs of praise and words of thanksgiving. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
Not only should our praise make God happy, but it should also make the poor happy and joyful on the streets. Why? Because praise gives us a chance to not only thank God for what He does, but also to help Him do it. God's generosity, which makes us praise Him, should make us more generous, which blesses other people and makes them praise God.
Prayer
Holy God, all-powerful and mighty King, You deserve all praise and honor. You have done great and wonderful things. You have poured out Your blessings upon me. You have kept Your word and shown me the way to be saved. Please give me the power and strength I need to bless, serve, and encourage other people for Your glory. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
