OBSERVATION
(Key verses)

2 Samuel 22:1 (GNT)

When the LORD saved David from Saul and his other enemies, David sang this song to the LORD:

APPLICATION
(How Can I apply what God is saying here to my life today?)

God blesses us each and every day with more things than we can enumerate in one setting, but what do we say or do in return? I am most upset when a rude child snatches something from me without ever saying “thank you”. David went on for a whole Psalm (chapter) praising God for watching over him and protecting him. Recently I have seen so many wrecks in our area, some ending in death to at least one of the parties. Regrettably this has not prompted me to give God thanks for watching over and protecting me every day that I travel 18 miles to work. School personnel, there have been many incidents in the school system, obviously you were kept safe if you are reading this devotional. Did you remember to thank God for protecting you? Airport personnel, same example as for the schools. Friends, our God loves us and He loves us enough that He would die for us. Through His son Jesus, He actually did that for you and I! To take advantage of that special offer for salvation from our sins, we must accept the gift given to us. Please speak with a local Bible teaching clergy for direction and help in making this important decision to accept Jesus’ gift, or contact me using the email below, as I would be thrilled to pray with you and give you direction. This decision is the key to living life eternally with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Life much better than anything experienced here on this earth. Consider making this important decision today, while you are able to, friend!

PRAYER
(What I will ask of God, in order for me to properly apply His Word to my life)

Lord, please forgive me for being so ungrateful at times. Please help me to be so focused on You that praising You will be on my lips at all times. Please help me to stay focused on the many things that You do for, and provide for, me to enjoy each and every day. With praise in my heart, and praise on my lips, I am convinced that I can overcome anything that may tend to set me back. Please help me to also affect my Brothers and Sisters who may otherwise lose out on these opportunities to praise You. Lord, You are worthy, and worthy of our praise, each and every day. May we be found guilty of always praising the name of Jesus in all things.
