Themes in Psalm 68:19:

  • Blessings: The psalmist thanks God for all of the blessings He has bestowed upon His people and will continue to do so.
  • Daily Provision: The phrase “daily loads us with benefits” implies that God’s providence is a continuous process rather than a one-time event. He always takes care of our necessities.

Background to Psalm 68:19

Psalm 68:19 is a psalm of David, in which he praises God for defeating his enemies and providing for His people. This psalm’s historical context is unclear, but some scholars assume that it was composed to commemorate the return of the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem.

After inflicting plagues on the Philistines, the Ark, which had been taken captive by them, was given back to Israel.

The psalm praises God’s majesty, provision, and deliverance of His people. As it asks God to march before His people and guide them in victory, it is also thought to have been sung as a processional song at festivals.

Reflection on divine provision for the needs of your family

The lesson of today serves as a reminder that God is a dependable provider who is constantly thinking about our needs, especially those of our families. Psalm 68:19 reassures us that God is able and eager to provide for us on a daily basis.

Since God is always dependable to keep His promises, we are called to put our faith in Him to provide for the necessities of our families. This suggests that because He cares for us, we shouldn’t worry about our wants but instead, should cast all of our worries on Him (1 Peter 5:7). All other things will be added to us if we constantly put the kingdom of God and His righteousness first (Matthew 6:33).

Beloved of God, such a life demands total faith, genuine obedience, and absolute thanksgiving:

  • We must put our trust in God’s promises and acknowledge that He is a trustworthy provider who will never fail us.
  • We must also be submissive to His will, carrying out His directives and putting our complete trust in Him to handle the rest.
  • Third, we need to develop an attitude of appreciation, never forgetting to thank God for His daily provisions.

In conclusion, as Christians, we are obligated to conduct ourselves in a way that demonstrates our faith in God’s ability to meet our family’s needs. Knowing that God is a dependable provider who generously showers us with blessings every day, we must have trust, obedience, and appreciation.
