Psalm 70 - 73

The Psalmist asks God to fill his thoughts and words with only praise of His glory.  What a theme upon which to focus one's day!  When personal strength fails, when reasonable expectations can no longer be met, when trouble surrounds and all others abandon - God is still glorious.  No wonder the psalmist asks "O God, who is like You?" because the answer is certainly 'No one.'  He is the King with the everlasting reign, the Judge with the always equitable verdict, the Sovereign deserving of all tribute, and the Beautiful One worthy of all adoration.  Indeed, God is good to His people.  It may not always appear to be so, when those who mock God seemingly prosper; but eternity will validate that temporal money is just that - temporal.  What really lasts is God's blessing.
