Psalm 66:1-7 When applying for a job, it is common for the employer to ask for references. Those who have known and or worked with us that can testify to the quality of our work and character is of great benefit to us. We appreciate it when those we offer as references give a good testimony about us. It would disappoint us if we were confident about our reputation but those references kept quiet about it. Similarly, our Father is pleased when we testify about his greatness in our lives. While God does not need us as a reference as we need references, for he is able to directly testify to souls in ways beyond our ability and comprehension, he nevertheless takes pleasure in hearing us verbally praise and adore him. This is what we were created for, and that is how we find our greatest fulfillment.
