I will praise His word

In God (I will praise His word), In the LORD (I will praise His word), - Psalm 56v10

What could inspire the kind of confidence that David wrote about when he said 'God is for me?' How did he know that everything was going to be okay. How could he know that eventually the enemy would be defeated?

The answer is right there before us – 'In God (I will praise His word). In the Lord (I will praise His word). David put his faith and his confidence in the Lord because He knew that the Lord's word was trustworthy. That is where he found his confidence – in the word of God.

David only had a glimpse of the word of God. He only saw it in bits and pieces. We have the whole thing intact, right here before us. If David could praise the word of God as his confidence how much more should we praise it today? We don't have to wait for a proclamation form God or from some prophet to come along and tell us something about God's word. All we have to do is to take it off our shelves and use it.

What a shame when we something for which we should give praise and we don't give it the praise it is due!
