“I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honor all the day.” (Psalm 71:7-8)
Others looked at this old saint with great admiration. Perhaps they admired his moral stance. Maybe it was his benevolence toward the less fortunate that caused them to wonder with awe. It could have been his honesty and his determination to always keep his word.
But, this psalmist knew he was nothing without the Lord. The child of God knows that one’s strength to live honestly and to be a person of impeccable character come from the Lord.
The psalmist sets the pattern for us to give all the praise for our goodness to the Lord. Without Him we are nothing. Let us give all praise to Him.
