BURSTING WITH JOY

Psalm 28:6-7 NLT

Praise the Lord!

For he has heard my cry for mercy.

 The Lord is my strength and shield.

I trust him with all my heart.

He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy.

I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.

Have you ever had something really good happen, or you’ve received good news and you’re bursting at the seams to tell somebody? I think that was how the Psalmist was feeling the day he wrote this psalm. You can sense His joy in the moment.😊

I’m sure we’ve all called out to the Lord at different times and know He has been so merciful to us. Those times when everything has seemed to conspire against us but the Lord stepped in and either brought us through, or turned things around for us, maybe in our health or our finances, or a family situation.

Our God has never changed and He still hears our every cry, He is still our strength and shield every day of our lives and He assures us we can trust Him with all our hearts with everything we might be dealing with right now.

 

So next time you feel like you’re up against it, remember this psalm, and know our God will help you as well, so your heart will be filled with joy, and soon you will be bursting at the seams to tell someone what He’s done for you too. 

In the meantime, He’s done so much for us already, so let’s burst out in songs of thanksgiving anyway. Amen.😊
