Sing Praise

Sing Praise

Passage: Psalms 61:1-8

Speaker: Trinity Whitley

Series: Sing a New Song

We have many reasons to praise God. We offer our praise to God because God is our Lord, because God is the creator and author of everything around us. But there are many times when we are in need, when the world does not seem to make sense, and we do not feel like offering our praise. In Psalm 61, King David confesses his heart is weak and that he is in need of shelter, but he still ends the psalm promising to praise God always, and so we should do the same. When life is difficult, we still are called to praise. When our prayers are not answered as we like, we are still called to praise. When we are in need, God still deserves our praise. Praise can be a joy, and it can also take discipline, but it always turns our focus to God instead of ourselves.
