No Matter What

Psalm 52

9 I will praise you forever, O God,

for what you have done.

I will trust in your good name

in the presence of your faithful people.

No matter what! Psalm 52 is filled with lots of stuff that isn’t exactly of the praise variety, but it ends with verse 9 doing just that: praising God. I will praise God no matter what. It doesn’t matter what circumstances I may find myself in. It doesn’t matter who the people I am with, what matters is that my life is lived out in such a manner as to give God praise always. There are plenty of good times, and not-so-good times in this life, but God is good. All the time. He is worthy of my praise both with my lips and with my life!
