Psalm 116
-Theme: Call upon
the Name of the LORD, praise for being saved and blessed by the LORD,
Thanksgiving for being one of His children.
-Historical
Insight: This is an anonymous Psalm of praise.
-*Application* What a blessed thought to understand that we
serve a God who hears and responds to our needs and most of our wants. When we
are in distress, pain, and sorrow we can call upon His Name with great
expectation. He is our Savior. He is gracious, righteous, and compassionate, preserving
the humbly simple who believe. He returns us to our place of rest and deals
bountifully with us in His rescuing work. “Precious in the sight of the LORD is
the death of His godly ones (Psalm 116:15).” Thankfully, we too can be His
servants and reap the rewards of faith as we fulfill our promises to follow Him
and praise is Holy Name in the assembly of His people whether it be in
Jerusalem or anywhere else. Our family has just moved. With all the adjustments
and stress that something like that entails, it is nice to rest in the fact
that God is with us and will continue to love and care for us as we fulfill His
call upon our lives.
