Psalm 116:5 “The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.” Patient, understanding, empathetic, forgiving, upright, holy, just, loving, gentle, tender are only a few words which aptly describe our God. That is the best friend we could possibly have. Can all of us learn from our Almighty God? And He is with us through all eternity. Would you call yourself blessed?

Psalm116:2 “Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.” It is impossible for our God to be more loving, caring, thoughtful, comforting, concerned and whatever adjectives/verbs or descriptive words we can imagine describing His being our God and we being His adopted children. There is no greater love that the love He has for you and me. That love results in the second half of this verse. Again, how blessed we are.

Psalm 116:1 “I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.” Without faith all of life is hopeless and meaningless and purposeless. With faith life becomes full of hope, takes on meaning which lasts throughout eternity and gives every faith filled person a joyful purpose. God’s promises are real. We live our lives as one with God. He listens to every word you or I say–either out loud or silently. We couldn’t worship a more caring and loving God.

Psalm 115:15 “May you be blessed by the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” The Creator of the world, with all the wonders of the Universe wants you to be blessed. What do you have to do to be blessed?Absolutely nothing! God’s grace and blessings are gifts–totally free.. Your and my response? Praising Him and being His faithful children. How could we do otherwise? Be blessed! Have a great weekend.

Psalm 115:4&8 “But their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands. Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.” Have you ever seen a bear carving? I have 2 of them in my driveway. We don’t live in fear of being attacked because they are simply wood carvings. They only have value as they entertain our grandchildren, children and my wife and me. They have ears but can’t hear. They have eyes but can’t see. They have mouths but can’t make a sound. They have feet but can’t walk. I can’t imagine trying to fool myself or others and kneeling before them and worshipping them. How sad for those who do.

Psalm 115:1 “Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.” I have developed a portfolio few attain. I eat nutritionally and work out so I am in very good shape. I am a good contributor to charities and am recognized as being generous. I volunteer for various events, so that’s fulfilling my civic responsibilities. Do you see the outstanding mistaken thinking? “I” dominates. Humility is lacking. Credit is going to the wrong party. You and I have to reread this passage and appreciate our magnificent Lord. Thanks and praise be to God!
