Psalms 40:4-5 (39:5-6)
Blessed is the man whose hope is the name of the Lord,
And who did not look into vanities and false frenzies.
Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders You performed,
And in Your thoughts there is no one who shall be likened to You;
I declared and said, “They are multiplied beyond number."
Personal Challenge
Don't we all want to be blessed by our God? Here is a message from the psalmist on how to receive those blessings. It begins by putting our hope in God. But is does not end there. We must not look into the vanities and false frenzies of the world. This is where the challenge comes in. We live in a world of fake news, of false reports of what is going on around us, and politicians and leaders that lie every chance that they get. We must seek God and His truths and turn from these vanities and false frenzies. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord have mercy!
