Psalm 113

"Praise the Lord.

Praise, O Servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord. 
Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore.
From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

The Lord is exalted over all the nations, his glory is above the heavens. 
Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high,
who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?

he raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
he seats them with princes, with the princes of their people.  He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children.

Praise the Lord."

My Word from God:
  • I am to praise God all day long, regardless of whether I'm cleaning the toilets or enjoying time with my family.
  • God sees everything in every nation.  He is watching as things happen on his earth.  He sees the good and the evil.  What does he see in me?
  • He can change the circumstances of our lives.  The needy and poor are seated with princes and the barren woman becomes a happy mother.  From experience, I know that God sometimes does this by changing people, their hearts, and their desires.
