Psalm
92:1–2
"It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to
sing praises unto thy name, O most High. To shew
forth thy lovingkindness in the morning,
and thy faithfulness every night,"
“I
believe in you” are four of the most powerful words that one person can ever
say to another. Those words are life giving. They tell a person that they
matter, that they are valuable, and that they are needed in this world.
Everyone knows that it’s important to teach our children to have faith in God. But do you know how important it is to teach our children that God has faith in them?” What a gift to give our children! A person who knows that God believes in them can weather even the toughest storms in life.
The usual understanding of this verse is that we praise God for His love and dependability. The morning represents the good times in our lives, when everything is bright and sunny. In those wonderful times, it is important to give thanks and recognize God’s abundant love for us. The night, on the other hand, represents the dark times in our lives, when everything looks bleak and uncertain. In those times, we trust that God will faithfully carry us through until tomorrow’s sunrise.
"God’s faith, not our faith." It’s not our faith in God that gets us through the toughest times in life; it’s His faith in us. When the night is so dark and so long, what keeps us going is remembering how much God believes in us.
At times, we feel like giving up. Life is tough, and sometimes we feel defeated or even worse, we feel worthless. What the message is telling us is that if we are still here, it’s because God believes in us. We have a mission, and we are up to the task. If not, we wouldn’t have woken up this morning. Every day that we are alive means that we have a job to do. God needs us, and the world needs us. So how could we possibly give in to feelings of despair? God believes in us, shouldn’t we, too?
