I will speak of Him…
“I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of the Lord.” - Psalms 118:17

For some it might mean living life to the full and being adventurous, whilst for others it might mean to just get through the day. You might be in a situation where you need a miracle for your life, or you might be someone who has good health and has everything you need. Regardless of upper story, you can declare, “Whilst I have breath in my lungs, I will tell others about my Incredible God,” because that is what the above verse is saying.
As we read Psalms118, King David is acknowledging he has pressures, but he is not complaining, he is actually stirring Himself. Sometimes we also need to stir ourselves. It’s easy to focus on things like stress, pressures, lack, family problems, work problems, health issues and so on. The list might be long, but we need respond like David and stand strong, declaring the works of the Lord.
Read through the whole of Psalms 118 out loud and verbally apply your name or struggles you are facing in those verses. It will begin to stir you, and stir your faith and it won’t be long before you are responding like King David with a faith filled declaration something like the following:
