Psalm 104:24 “How many are your works, Lord! In wisdom you make them all; the earth is full of your creatures.” Our Psalmist continually expresses the wonders of God. Man receives the benefits of God’s creation. Although the earth is full of tangible gifts from God, the greatest gift from Him is the intangible gift of love. The same is true in regard to each other. Our example couldn’t be clearer–the greatest gift of all is the gift of love. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 104:1 “Praise the Lord, my soul. Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty.” Many people do not worship God because He is greater than their imaginations can handle. His magnificence far surpasses their understanding. The fact is: God is greater than our imaginations can handle and His magnificence does far surpass our understanding. These two facts don’t mean He doesn’t exist; rather they mean He is far beyond our understanding as to His splendor. We, therefore, can do nothing other than praise and honor Him.

Psalm 103:17 “But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children—-” Though life on earth for all of us is short compared to time before we were born and short compared to eternity, the love of our God is not bound by time. His love never fails and lasts forever. As faithful followers it is impossible to be more blessed. The same love God had for Noah, Abraham, David, Paul–He has for you and me. Think about that–your name is written in the Book of Life!

Psalm 103:15-16 “The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like the flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.” You probably remember your grandfather, but how about your great grandfather and no one remembers their great great grandfather. Why this thought? God’s wisdom teaches: flourish, excel, enjoy life on this earth but always keep in mind–heaven is your home–so live accordingly.

Psalm 1003:13 “As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;” Only a parent who loses a child understands the sadness that loss produces for the life of a parent. A loving bond has been dissolved. A natural love is taken away. God has that unique love for each of us, His children. Those who have a loving relationship with the only true God rest in His arms and enjoy a love relationship which is indescribable and beyond measure.

Psalm 103:12 “as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.” For us to inherit eternal life and have a relationship with our Heavenly Father you and I must be perfect. Our Savior has miraculously accomplished that. His life, death and resurrection has performed this greatest miracle of all time. Does this give us the freedom to live whatever life we choose? Absolutely not! Rather, because of our Savior and His redemptive work, you and I have a strong faith and a deep desire to honor Him through every motion we take and every thought we think. We pray for His constant help. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 103:11 “For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him.” When we think of the magnificence of God and His ability to do whatever he chooses and then realize He chooses to love, not just put up with, not just like, but to love each of us–His children, we have to be both humbled and be as happy as happy gets. What a wonderful, loving God we praise.

Psalm 103:8″The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.” Every parent can learn how to parent from this passage. Every Christian can learn how to practice their faith from this passage. Every child of God realizes from this passage the blessed life they live because of the absolute truth of this passage. What a wonderful passage!

Psalm 102:12 “But you, Lord, sit enthroned forever; your renown endures through all generations.” God has always been and always will be. Nothing compares. And to think that God loves you and me is both true and far beyond our understanding. How blessed we are. How can we do anything other than honor, love and praise Him as faithful adopted children.

Psalm 102:11 “My days are like the evening shadow; I wither away like grass.” Our human nature hates this passage while our God nature loves this passage. With all the difficulties this short life forces each of us to endure we happily look forward to an eternal time when nothing sad happens and joy is constant. No heath issues, no conflicts, no unnecessary worries, no disappointments–heaven is almost impossible to imagine. Given the truth of this passage, how can we do anything other than desire an extremely close relationship with our Savior?

Psalm 102:2 “Do not hide your face from me when I am in distress. Turn your ear to me; when I call, answer me quickly.” If only you and I could physically see our Heavenly Father and His angels as they live by our side every moment of every day. Our level of confidence would rise where God wants it to be. We, at times, live with anxiety and depression, not because of God, but rather because of ourselves and our lack of trust and confidence caused by our human nature. The sad truth is: none of us are exempt. We all need to constantly pray–God, give me the strength and confidence to totally trust you and never allow fear to be a part of me. Make my trust level always be 1000% as You want it to be. In Jesus’ name we pray. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 101:6 “My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; the one whose walk is blameless will minister to me.” How do you choose whom you will hang out with? Are friends based on social status? Are friends based on income level? Are friends based on drinking buddies? Is there no criteria, or does God in this passage have a wise thought? God is saying–choose as friends those who are faithful to Him. If you and I want to be faithful to God, choose to surround ourselves with those who are faithful to God. A truth is: those whom you choose to surround yourself is a sure indicator of who you are. Be careful.
