SURELY

Today's reading: Psalm 140-142

"Surely the godly are praising your name, for they will live in your presence." Psalm 140:13 NLT

Surely is an English word used to emphasis the speaker's firm belief that what they say is true and often their surprise that there is any doubt of it.

As David wrote this psalm, I'm believing he trusted wholeheartedly that all of God's children saw God's attributes and couldn't help but praise Him for them.

Maybe you think David was merely speaking of his counterparts. His generation. His fellow Jerusalem neighbors. Those who lived in the era of time in which he lived.

But don't you think he was also talking about us?

Surely we are praising God's name for His greatness!

Surely we are lifting up accolades for God's patience and kindness!

Surely we are glorifying the Lord for His righteousness and His willingness to share with us heaven!

Surely we are honoring Him for who He is, not just asking Him for one more request!

Surely we are magnifying the name of God for being our Shepherd, Way, Healer, Deliverer and Comforter!

Surely we are bowing in praise for His willingness to forgive our sins and call us His own!

Surely!

Surely?
