Proclamation:
“In God we will make our boast all day
long, and we will praise Your name forever.”
Psalm 44:8
Explanation:
This psalm was
written under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God by an unknown human
author (probably King David) for the sons of Korah to sing. The psalmist begins this psalm talking about
victories of the past, (Psalm 44:1-3) and current victories which have already
been won, (Psalm 44:4-7) then continues and talks prophetically about defeats
which have yet to come. (Psalm 44: 9-11 and 22)
He gives God credit for the victories, brags about what God has done,
then says that they will praise Him forever.
Application:
We have no reason to brag or boast about
ourselves, our accomplishments, or our possessions. All that we are and all that we have are
blessing from The Lord God. (2 Corinthians 10:13) Our very lives and our existence is because
of His goodness, mercy, and grace. Any
bragging we do should be about what The Lord had done. Everything from creation to our last breath
and heart beat is a blessing and a miracle from God. We should give Him credit, thanks, and praise
for all that He has done. (Proverbs 3:6 and Ephesians 5:20)
