Psalm 65

The psalmist, David started the psalm by giving praise to God (verse 1-4) in 3 areas. 1. He praised God for hearing his prayers. 2. He praised God for forgiving his sins. 3. He praised God for allowing us to draw close to Him.

Then, David began to praise God for His power & might.

In the final third of the psalm, David described how God blessed the land with abundant crops. I could almost imagine endless rows of grains, corns, etc.

God always wants to bless us. He wants to give us success and prosperity - like in career and studies. And when we do receive all these blessings, do we remember Him?


I need to constantly remind myself to remember the Blesser (God, of course), and not just the blessings. That's why I want to peservere on in this 40 days' fast and pray, even though I'm in Malaysia now.


Things to ponder
1. What are some blessings in your life that God has given you? Name at least 3.
2. How are you doing in terms of remembering the Lord (spending time with Him) in this 40 days' fast and pray? Rate 1 to 10 (10 means very good).
3. Pray and commit to press on in this fasting & praying season. Go for intimacy with God!
