Most Biblical scholars agree that Psalm 32 was written by David after he was confronted by the prophet Nathan over the sin he had committed with Bathsheba.

Psalm 96:1-3
No matter the circumstances, both good and bad, every day is a gift from God. And as we face this new year, and the unknown it holds, we can be sure of one thing. God is already there and in complete control. And in His great love and grace, He has allowed us to see yet another day, another month, and another year. So as each dawn rises, from thankful hearts, we should sing a new song to the Lord. A song of celebration for His faithfulness, mercy, and glory. “For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised.” (Ps. 96:4)

Psalm 20:4
David was a king who loved his people. And out of that love he prayed that God would grant them the desires of their hearts and fulfill the plans He had for them. We too need to be praying for one another. For we each have hopes, dreams, and goals. And out of a Christlike love, we should be praying that God would fulfill both the desires and His purpose for all, and rejoice when those prayers are answered. Because praying for each other is a privilege and one that God wants us to exercise often in both love and togetherness.

Psalm 65:11
With so much division in the world and so many hurting, it can be hard to be optimistic about the year ahead. But as Christians we don’t place our hope in the world, our hope is found in Jesus. For no matter the world events, the changing seasons, or plans of the Enemy, God has crowned the year with His goodness and abundance! That means whatever this world throws at us, we can be filled with hope and confidence. Hope in the promises of God, and confidence that in His love and goodness, He will not only meet our needs, but do so graciously and abundantly!

Psalm 96:11
Everything in creation cries out in worship to God’s glory, splendor, and majesty. The heavens, earth, sea, fields, and even the trees, sing to the Lord a new song. For one day God will restore everything His hands have made to its original perfection. From the beginning, God has had His master plan in motion. And with the birth of Jesus Christ, that plan was made real before all mankind. In His amazing love, God planned to once and for all destroy evil and reconcile everything back to Himself, our great Creator!

Psalm 50:14
Any true and good thing we have in our lives is a gift from God. And while it’s important to thank Him with our lips, what the Lord really wants is to see our gratitude in action. He wants us to become living sacrifices of thanksgiving. How? By walking in truth, love, grace, and mercy. We are Christ’s ambassadors on earth, and from hearts overflowing with gratitude, the same blessings He so generously gives to us, we should be showing to others. Jesus willingly became a sacrifice for us, shouldn’t we joyfully do the same in return?

Psalm 118:24
Life has its up and downs, and some days are better than others. But each day that we are given, is a precious gift from God. The the dawn of each day brings with it fresh opportunities. Opportunities to love another, to grow in our relationship with God, and to start anew. God never promises anyone a tomorrow, so we need to live each day as the blessing that it is. Lamentations 3 reminds us that God’s mercies are new every morning. So rejoice, be glad, and make today a great one!

When someone asks me about my faith, my heart practically bursts at the seams with joy. I can’t wait to tell them of all the ways God works in my life.

My heart can’t help but brag of the wonderful things the Lord has and continues to do each day for me. And although my spiritual walk is is somedays one step forward two steps back, I will forever praise God for His faithfulness and mercy!

Psalm 100:4
When the Israelites entered the gates to the temple of God, they sang joyful songs of praise and thankfulness. The gratitude they felt from belonging to the Lord, filled their hearts with gladness. Now, because of Jesus, God’s temple is open to all. And we too can enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise. The Lord is our Shepherd, and we will join the Jewish people in singing a joyful song and serving Him with gladness. Praise and worship the Lord for His goodness, lovingkindness, and everlasting faithfulness!

Psalm 107:8
How wonderful is our God! He truly is our Father! As His beloved children, God provides and cares for our every need. And not just our physical needs, but also our heart and soul. He gives us nourishment, refreshment, healing, and guidance. From the great to the small, God cares about every area of our lives. And just like He rescued and made Israel His own, God longs to do the same for us and, “supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:19) Oh how thankful I am for His love and to Him goes the glory forever and ever!
