At All Times

“A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Psalm 34:1

When is the best time to praise and give favor the LORD?  According to David, “at all times”.  If the GOD of glory continually watches over his children, would it not also be appropriate to continually praise Him?  

I like the, “at all times”.  We praise GOD not only when things are going the way we like but also in times of despair.  I think too often we we give our praises when it is convenient for us in the times of joy rather than, “at all times”.  We silence our fears by praising the LORD in times of trouble.

I’ve been accused of talking too much and I suppose this is true.  Sometimes the things that come out of my mouth are not what my heart intended.  It is safe to say, if we are continually praising the LORD the words we speak will glorify the LORD and put ourselves on the back burner. “his praise shall continually be in my mouth.”

When my hearts full of praise,

For the GOD of Glory.

My words flow like summer honey.

In the cracks they’ll flow 

for all hearts to hear.

Oh, give praise to the KING ALMIGHTY.

Glory and honor to HIM belong.

“At all times” I give HIM all my praises.

My JESUS, My SAVIOR, my Everlasting Song.

“I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.” Psalm 86:12
