Praise God

Psalm 69:34 “Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and all that move in them,” The Creator of the universe certainly deserves our praise.  You and I cannot even create a speck of dust or a leaf on a tree or a drop of water from nothing, yet God created the entire universe out of nothing.  We cannot comprehend the awesomeness of God.  You and I, like our Psalmist, can only praise Him–praise Him even without being able to comprehend His glory.  What a phenomenal God — and to think He loves us.

Who else does this?

Psalm 68:20 “Our God is a God who saves; from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death.” There is no God from any other religion who distinguishes itself as does the Absolute Majestic God who lives with the love of salvation for every faith filled follower.  No other faith has a God  who takes the abuse our True Sacrificial God takes and still blesses His followers.  When this earthly life is over, immediately our eternal life begins.  Nothing could be better.  Never fear death as it is the gateway to Life.

Praise

Psalm 68:19 “Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.” There is no one on earth who does not have problems.  There is a huge difference, however, how people solve those problems. One group says, relying on oneself–God, (in a manner using God’s name inappropriately) how am I going to solve these problems?  While the other group says–God, help me solve these problems.   One group relies on self.  One group relies on and walks with their Savior.  The one who walks with their Savior always succeeds while the other group will always live in wondering what to do.  Which group are you in?

A distinction

Psalm 68:3 “But may the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful.” God wants His faith filled followers to enjoy life.  He wants you and me to live in the security of His constant presence, guidance and love.  Never does He want us to live in fear–even in the presence of death.  God sent His Son to overcome fear for each of us as He knew no fear and therefore neither should you or I.  Never fear.  Always enjoy.  What could be better than being His blessed child!

Prayer continues

Psalm 67:7 “May God bless us still, so that all the ends of the earth will fear him. Our Psalmist is not only appreciative of what God has done for him, he is concerned for the rest of mankind.  He prays God will bless all of mankind because He is both capable and wonderful.  You and I pray that same prayer so all men and women and children learn to love God as He intends and then receive the blessings which tremendously affect a person both in this life and in in our life to come for all eternity.  What a magnificent God we serve. Have a great weekend.

A daily prayer?

Psalm 67:1 “may God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine on us–” It is very difficult for you and me to truly realize what we are asking when we pray this Psalm.  We are asking the true God of the Universe, with all His power 1. to love us and 2. to shower us with His richness and 3. make us His faithful disciples.  Could we possibly ask for more?  The piece which is so difficult for you and me to understand is God answering us and saying—sure, I can and will do that!  We can only thank our wonderful God.
