Set Apart
David begins this Psalm with a thanks to God for His mercy. I also thank God that I can come boldly to His throne of grace to obtain mercy, especially when I fall short of righteousness. I know that He shines His light on me and that He has set me apart to be in a relationship with Him.

Help
One thing I admire about King David is that he exudes almost every emotion possible. In Psalm chapter three, he describes disdain for the thousands of enemies who surround him, then tells how he cried out to the Lord for help.

Celebrate My Birthday!
I face my birthday with jubilation. I throw my hands in the air and dance around the room, shouting for joy and singing. I am just so happy to be alive and blessed. My faith in God will continue to sustain me throughout the days of my life, and keep me singing my song, “Celebrate My Birthday!” I thank you all for your well-wishes for me today and always.

King of Kings – Psalm 2
If I were a king, I would consider Psalm chapter two to be a personal warning to me about the way I rule over my kingdom. The verses admonish kings to be wise leaders, serving with reverence for God. Ultimately, Jesus, the King of kings, will be given dominion over the people and all the earth. God will hold kings accountable for the way they lead. As Shakespeare said, “Heavy is the head that wears the crown.”
