[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 48]] ## Title: Think About the Lord ## Scripture: (Psalm 48:9-10) “Within your temple we reflect on your loyal love, O God. The praise you receive as far away as the ends of the earth is worthy of your reputation, O God. You execute justice.” (NET) ## Observation: No one has to tell us to think about our problems and issues. They come in and occupy our minds with or without our permission. However, we have to discipline ourselves to think about the Lord. The word for meditate in this passage means that we do not just have a passing thought about the Lord. It means we consistently think about Him. We keep rolling around the goodness of God in our minds and consistently dwell on all He has done. When we do this, we begin to remember that our problems are not bigger than God. We remember all He has done in the past and all He is currently doing in our lives. Most of us have more of a reason to have hope than our current problems would like us to believe. Therefore, when we meditate on the Lord, we begin to realize that God is worthy of our worship. ## Application: Take a few moments, shut out the problems, and focus on the Lord. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being so easy to worship.
