Trust in the Lord
I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. Ps 146:2
The book of Psalm ends with praise. It is called the Hallelujah psalms. Psalm 146 is the first of the 5 Hallelujah psalms, Ps 146- 150. Hallelujah means praise the Lord.
In this excellent psalm of praise, the psalmist himself praises God in verses 1-2 and he also engages others to trust in God -
an important way to praise God in verse 5.
We should not trust in men but to trust in God. God is the creator of all, the Lord of all. He is the faithful one who defends the weak and oppressed, he provides for the poor and needy, he heals the sick.
In summary, Psalm 146 can be divided into 2 parts:
Part 1 Why we should not trust in men (vs 1-4)
Part 2 Why we should trust in God (vs5-10)
Application:
Delight in praising the Lord while you live. God will not fail those whose trust is in him The psalmist encourages us to put confidence in God. We must hope in the providence of God for all that we need.
You can gladly praise the Lord when you put your trust and confidence in him.
Each day in your time with God, praise Him for who he is and for what he has done and can do.
