Blessed are the people to whom such blessings fall! Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!

Psalm 144:15

In Psalm 144, David recalls God’s help in subduing his enemies. He’s looking to God for future help with great confidence, but he’s also reflecting on how God has helped him in the past (vs. 1-4).

As we age, we remember how God has been there for us in the past. While we navigate the waters of aging, we also praise God for being here with us right now, and we’re confident knowing he’s faithful and steadfast. God will not leave us, ever. We may not know what’s ahead of us, but we know God is our constant source of strength and help.

David’s prayer of confidence in God makes us rejoice also. Truly blessed are those on whom God’s blessings fall and whose God is the LORD!

God, we are blessed to live under your care from beginning to end! Amen.

Reflect: Write a psalm of praise to God for his faithfulness then share it with others.
