Psalm 118
This Psalm has many interesting things for us to discuss, so let's get started. This Psalm starts out by telling us that we should give thanks to God because His love endures forever. This is something to be thankful for everyday.
Because we know that we are loved with an everlasting love, we need not fear that something we do will cause the Lord to withhold His love from us. This should always motivate us to love and serve the Lord to the best of our ability.
Verse 8 tells us that it is better to trust in God than to trust in man. No human being no matter how important or powerful can help us as the Lord can.
When we are facing difficult circumstances in life, we need to take our problem to the Lord first. He is the one who spoke and brought the universe into existence. He certainly has enough power to help us when we are in need.
This Psalm tells us that the stone that the builders rejected has become the capstone. This is a Messianic prophecy. Jesus uses this verse to describe His earthly ministry. He was rejected when He came the first time. When He comes again, He will rule over all. Jesus is the cornerstone of His church.
Verse 24 tells us that the Lord has made this day, and we should rejoice in it. When you suffer with depression like I do, this isn't always easy. Sometimes, days don't seem to have much in them to rejoice about. On these days, we need to remember that we are loved by God. We can always rejoice that we have been redeemed. The Lord is always watching over us.
