Psalm 106:1 – “Everyone thank God, FOR He is good and easy to please.”

What a concept that a multitude of believers do not believe!   This is a good day because of God’s Grace, Mercy, Love, and Gifts.  The undiscovered treasures and truths wrapped in the unexplored parts of the day will be revelatory and release understanding and blessing.  I am ever grateful for each of you, your deposit in my life, and the joy you bring.  Thank you.

As I read, prayed, and meditated on the Word, several things were refused to allow me to overlook them.

In Job 4, Eliphaz said something powerful.   In Job 4:5-9, he reminded Job of a timeless truth.   We grow weary and allow depression or despondency to prevail when difficulties come.   We become fearful and frustrated over problems and obstacles.   We trust our own perceived or presumed integrity.   The Law of Harvest was his theme.

However, if we focus on ourselves, we miss an even greater revelation, which the Psalmist presented in Psalm 106:1: “Everyone thank God, FOR He is good and easy to please.”

Wow!   That is not the concept of the vast majority of those who profess to be believers.  We struggle to be accepted, thinking our Heavenly Father is hard and harsh.   We try to earn His favor and acceptance.   We revert to the idea of Eliphaz and think like we’ve heard – “God’s gonna get you for that.”

Psalm 105:8 –“For though a thousand generations may pass away, He is still true to His word.”

I love the picture of Psalm 106:3 – “The happiest one on earth is the one who keeps Your word AND clings to righteousness every moment. “

One problem is that we tend to view God as harsh and impossible to please.   Out of that mindset, we make idols of the heart to replace Him.  Before you protest, consider how often we reinterpret God and His Word to accommodate what we want to be reality.

Psalm 106:20 shook me hard.  “They preferred the image of a grass-eating ox to the presence of the glory-filled God.”  Why?  It was less threatening.  They could control an ox but not the living God.  They took a path that was less threatening and less demanding.  We tend to profess our faith but withhold our hearts. 

I see that in today’s genocide.  Psalm 106:37-39 – “They even sacrificed their little children to demon spirits…”  We do it not always by abortion but by opening the door for them to be exposed to the demonic teachings, teachers, and practices that pervert and pollute.   “These dark practices greatly defiled the land AND their own souls…”

God is faithful, loving, forgiving, and easy to please IF…  If?  If we will give Him our all.  We are destined to be victorious examples for the world.

Today, God is calling us to come to Him in full surrender. Too often, we become like those described in Psalm 107:10b: “We were (are) prisoners to our pain, chained to our regrets.”  A biblical view of God will deliver us from that bondage. Be free! 

Rejoice and give thanks; today is a day of victory if we will believe and receive!
