I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness;
I will sing the praises of the name of the Lord Most High. (Psalm 7:17)
Thoughts: God is not fickle nor untrustworthy. He is faithfully right. His righteousness is reliable. God does not promise one thing and do another. You can rely on God's integrity and His Word. God will not promise heaven if we believe and give you hell instead. The gods of the pagans were as fickle as human feelings and luck or happenstance. God is worthy of thanks in both the good and the hard times because He sees us through and is waiting at the end of the curvy tunnel of life with the light of hope.
God is "Lord Most High" because He is the King of kings, Lord of lords, and God of gods. He is above the fray and we can always look up to Him. But God Most High has a name, and is knowable. We do not praise and unknowable or unknown God- but God who is knowable and wants to be known. God wants to be known enough to come down to us and show us who He is.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for who you are. Thank you that you are righteous, worthy of praise; high above us in righteousness yet knowable by name.
