One of the many reasons why I love this Psalm is how it shows very good reasons to praise the Lord. It’s a great exhibition of praise. It’s all based on both what the Lord has done and who the Lord is.
I could run through the list and would I love to do that! Yet it’s worth for yourself just considering who He is and what He has done. Then seeing why it is so important to see the benefit of passing it from one generation to another.
I am a recipient of elders and mothers impressing on me the goodness of God in word and deed. For it is one thing to exult over His goodness and another thing to witness it. Seeing it miraculously provide a home for a family set to be kicked out on the street. Seeing it restore a marriage heading for the rocks of divorce. Seeing it rescue young people from lives destined for misery and prison. Seeing it bring peace not in avoiding conflict but addressing the source of conflict – the insidious root of sin stubbornly refusing to be dismissed but then summarily uprooted and tossed aside forever by the goodness seen in the revelation of who God really is as expressed in His Word.
No wonder He is the ruler of the Universe. No wonder He does great things. No wonder He is worthy of perpetual praise from those who see Him, know Him and love Him.
It’s an outstanding Psalm worthy of your consideration as a springboard to ongoing praise to the Lord who is worthy.
For His Name’s Sake
Shalom
