1. Praise the LORD, all you nations.
Praise him, all you people of the earth.
2. For he loves us with unfailing love;
the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever.
Praise the LORD!
As the year 2013 comes to a conclusion, the shortest Psalm in the Bible captures in its brevity the vast goodness of the LORD towards my family and I through out this year. The year has gone by in a blur. There were many a challenges both in my professional and personal life through out this year; there were many periods of not knowing what actions to take; sometimes despair took over. But one thing this year has taught me is, and I agree with Rev. Charles Stanley, that you can win all your battles on your knees in prayer. God continued to prove that his love towards us is unfailing - without error or fault, it's inexhaustible! His faithfulness endures - it lasts, lives on, persists, perseveres - forever!
Between the two verses of Psalm 117, if you look far back in the Bible, you will find the lives of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, Rahab, Ruth, Samuel, Gideon, David, Jehoshaphath, and many, many more. When life's challenges come knocking on your door, turn to God in prayer with a praise filled attitude and you will always experience his unfailing love and faithfulness. You are very dear to God and the Bible teaches us that he is passionate about his relationship with you. This is why Christ was born, became an eternal sacrifice, and today is our high priest.
Put your faith in Christ and may your 2014 be blessed!
