Day 72 – Psalm 48

“We have thought, O God, on Your lovingkindness…” Psalm 48:9a

TAKING TIME OUT TO THINK ABOUT GOD

Do you take time out to think about God? This is an excellent spiritual practice that must be encouraged.

“We have thought, O God, on Your lovingkindness,
In the midst of Your temple.”
Psalm 48:9

1. Who will not think about God?

We have a candid statement concerning those who do not take time to think about God.

“The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God;
God is in none of his thoughts.”
Psalm 10:4

2. “We have thought, O God”

a) Thinking and seeking God go together.
b) Thinking and meditating on God (and His word) are closely allied practices.

3. “Your lovingkindness”

a) This is one of many attributes of God.
b) This word encompasses the following (especially):-
i) Grace
ii) Mercy
iii) Love

4. “In the midst of Your temple”

a) Being in the holy temple of God was a great experience.
b) What does one do in the temple of God but to focus and to dwell on the Lord?
c) The reader is taught to see beyond the fortifications of Jerusalem. He is taught to dwell on the Lord’s lovingkindness instead. It is only the Lord who can grant true peace and safety!
