"Praise awaits You, O God, in Zion; to You our vows will be fulfilled."
Psalm 65:1
Infinite and dearest are God's mercies to us to be forgotten. When we are filled with His intense love, we would be awestruck to express our esteem for Him, and praise Him in quietness, recollecting all that He has done for us. Let us also not forget our vows to Him but renew them. Beginning a day with praises to God brings us a dewy freshness, and continuing His praises all through the day fills us with high spirits and acclivites our thoughts.

Instant, Thorough And Lasting Liberty
"Now I will break their yoke from your neck and tear your shackles away."
Nahum 1:13
The Lord promises us an instant and total rescue from our oppressor. He will not just detach his yoke off from us but break it off to pieces. He will not just undo his knot but blow it up to nothing so that the subduer can never again return back to us. We can no longer be bent down by his burden nor be fastened by his cord. The Lord assures us a thorough and permanent liberty.

Elevator Of Our Heads
""..You, O Lord, are a shield around me; You are my glory, the One who holds my head high."
Psalm 3:3
God is our protective covering, guarding us from any harm that is propelled against us. He is the One who raises us to all honor and glory. Though we hang down our head in sorrow at present, He will soon lift it and hold it up forever. He will lift up our heads by elevating our disgrace to respect, our ailment to wholesome, our mourning to joy and all our declines to ascents.

Glorious Triumph
"I will sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously.."
Exodus 15:1
Let us all join in the song to sing God's praises. Let us honor and exalt His name and celebrate His victory. He does wondrous things out of ordinary sequence of nature, in unexpected ways and in an unbelievable time. Let us feel relieved, for He has taken away all burdens from our shoulders, extoling His power. He has fought our battle and won, and always will.

Hear The Echo Of His Voice
"One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard: that You, O God, are strong."
Psalm 62:11
God speaks once and it is done. He is unchangeable over what He has said. So there is no need for Him to repeat. But we need the ear to hear the echo of His voice again and again. All strength and ability required to defend and save us, belongs to God. When all else fails, His power will never fail. Let us be encouraged to trust His power alone at all times.
More Blessed.. More Accountable
"..when someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required."
Luke 12:48
God wants us to be loving, caring and responsible servers of Him. We need to be faithful with whatever work we are delegated. God has placed some people under our custody, expecting us to love them with the heart of Jesus. We are accountable to God for all whom He has entrusted with us.

God's Unchangeableness - Our Anchor
"I am the Lord, and I do not change. That is why you ..are not already destroyed."
Malachi 3:6
We live in a diverging world where everything - from material to men keep changing. Nothing stays as it used to be. But our infinite God never changes a bit. He can never change His love and purpose for us. He always abides by His covenant. His unchangeableness is our great anchor. He will never let us perish but defend us amidst any dangerous circumstance with His everlasting love.
