Psalm 145, Great is our GOD!

Psa 145:1-2, … I will extol YOU, MY GOD, O KING; And I will bless YOUR name forever and ever. Every day I will bless YOU, And I will praise YOUR name forever and ever.

This is the last Psalm attributed to king David, a Psalm of praise and adoration of HIM who is worthy to be praised! David, being an earthly king, knew that GOD, his GOD, is the true KING of kings! He will bless and praise daily without end!

Rev 19:16, And HE has on HIS robe and on HIS thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Psa 145:3, GREAT IS THE LORD, AND GREATLY TO BE PRAISED; AND HIS GREATNESS IS UNSEARCHABLE. 

When we consider HIS creation all around us, the stars and galaxies, the mighty sea, our own bodies etc; we are left in awe of HIS greatness! YET, this is only a glimpse of HIS power for we only see the mere edges of it!

Job 26:12-14, HE stirs up the sea with HIS power, And by HIS understanding HE breaks up the storm. By HIS Spirit HE adorned the heavens; HIS hand pierced the fleeing serpent. INDEED THESE ARE THE MERE EDGES OF HIS WAYS, AND HOW SMALL A WHISPER WE HEAR OF HIM! BUT THE THUNDER OF HIS POWER WHO CAN UNDERSTAND?”

Psa 145:8-9, The LORD IS GRACIOUS AND FULL OF COMPASSION, SLOW TO ANGER AND GREAT IN MERCY. The LORD IS GOOD TO ALL, AND HIS TENDER MERCIES ARE OVER ALL HIS WORKS.

Even though, for us, sometimes it’s hard to see, and impossible to understand the trials that happen in our lives? why did I lose my job, why this why that, why a precious life was taken? YET, KNOW THE LORD IS GOOD TO ALL AND WHAT HE DOES, EVEN THOUGH WE DON’T UNDERSTAND, WAS FOR THE BEST!

Rom 8:28, AND WE KNOW THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THOSE WHO LOVE GOD, TO THOSE WHO ARE THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.

Psa 147:5, Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; HIS UNDERSTANDING IS INFINITE. 

Psa 145:18, THE LORD IS NEAR TO ALL WHO CALL UPON HIM, TO ALL WHO CALL UPON HIM IN TRUTH. 

HE is like the air that surrounds us, always present for HE has said, “I SHALL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU”! HE hears are prayers, and knows the sadness in our hearts!

Psa 145:21, MY MOUTH SHALL SPEAK THE PRAISE OF THE LORD, AND ALL FLESH SHALL BLESS HIS HOLY NAME FOREVER AND EVER. 

Happen what may, David made his choice to follow the LORD, Have you?
