Psalm 146:1-6 CEV
Today, would have been my mother’s 89th earthly birthday, but she is enjoying her first heavenly birthday with Jesus. Mom was a young and positive thinker. One of her favorite quotes was by Satchel Paige, “How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?” Well, Mom is eternal, so she is now forever young.
Mom taught me many profound and wonderful things, but her greatest gift to me was teaching me how to depend upon the Lord with all my heart. She used to tell others, “Mary trust God!” She knew it was true, because she taught me it was the only way to experience a deep spiritual life.
In our passage today, I am reminded that we are to depend upon the Lord above all else. He is worthy of our praise, we can trust him, and he always keeps his word. Give him your heart and life and you will be shouting praise, too.
