Review Of Psalms

The first thing that we learn from Psalms is that we are to praise God for Who He is and for what He has done for us as His followers.  It is not dependent on who we are or how powerful we may be in the world.  David's was a king, who was also at times surrounded by enemies.  He praised God and gave Him the credit for protecting him in either case.  We need to praise God no matter where we stand in the in the eyes of the world.   We also learned that we are to joyously praise God when we gather together in His name, which we should do often.  I believe that we also see that we are to praise God continually, and not just when we are gathered together to worship Him.  David said we are to praise or worship God when we get up in the morning and when we go to bed at night.  As Christians, we need to seriously consider how much of our time each day is spent actually even thinking about God, much less praising and worshipping Him.  We learned that God uplifts the meek and seemingly powerless. We must all come to Jesus in meekness, recognizing our inability to save ourselves spiritually.   God has already provided salvation even for those who are considered the lowest by the world if the come to Him by faith.  Being poor or powerless does not gain salvation for anyone though, but only accepting the salvation of Christ does.
