"Those Who Seek The Lord Shall Praise Him" (Psalm 22:22-26)
(Memorization Scripture 25-26)

22 I will declare Your name to My brethren; in the midst of the assembly I will praise You.
23 You who fear the Lord, praise Him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, and fear Him, all you offspring of Israel!
24 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; nor has He hidden His face from Him; but when He cried to Him, He heard.
25 My praise shall be of You in the great assembly; I will pay My vows before those who fear Him.
26 The poor shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek Him will praise the Lord. Let your heart live forever!
27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before You.

Reflection:
In this renowned Messianic psalm, David accurately foretold the sufferings of the Lord Jesus on the cross, even down to many specific details (Psalm 22:1-21). Because of the salvation accomplished by Christ Jesus on the cross, we, His redeemed people, have been bought back and established. We now have the privilege of standing among the congregation and proclaiming His holy name, giving thanks and praising Him among all peoples and nations!
Indeed, Christ alone is our Savior, our life, our joy, and our satisfaction. He is our ultimate pursuit. Through the redemption of the cross, Christ sought and saved us. Therefore, with new life, we ought to honor and serve the One Who loved us to the point of giving His life.
"Those who seek the Lord shall praise Him. Let your heart live forever!" Praise God that we have been called to walk among the assembly of saints who seek Him, and may praise become the hallmark and identity of those who belong to Him.
Let our praises express the unending gratitude and adoration we have for Him in our hearts. May they continually stir up our faith and revive our spiritual lives! Let our hearts live forever!
