“I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises.” (Psalm 34:1 NLT)
This is your much anticipated Monday Short meditation! Think of it as your personal starter kit, but don’t just utilize the content today! Utilize it every day, continuously!
Whatever predicaments or problems you face, perhaps a plethora of negative stuff, or even if you are experiencing some type of prosperity, positive stuff – on either side of the spectrum, don’t forget to praise the Lord.
If you find yourself in a condition that makes you feel poor as described by the feeling alone, feeling an absence of peace, power, protection, or provisions – don’t forget to praise the Lord. He has not forgotten you! Just make sure you don’t forget to seek Him! And even if you have everything you need, don’t brag about how you got it. Instead boast about how the Lord set you up with His blessings.
Finally, if you find yourself feeling all alone, fret not, just cry out to the Lord, for he can save you out of all your troubles. As a side note: If the trouble is lengthy, don’t only recite the words, “Trouble does not last always,” but recognize that the Lord will still save you from being destroyed, depressed, or in despair while you learn to wait on Him. For the Lord, I said, “For the Lord,” He will lift you by just merely knowing that change is coming, for the Lord will rescue you.
I pray David’s words in the closing verse below comes in handy when you need it! And I hope this “Monday Short” gives you a good Monday start! Be blessed!
This poor man cried to the Lord—and the Lord heard him and saved him out of his troubles.” (Psalm 34:6 The Living Bible)
Committed to the climb,
Mark L. King
