Today I read Psalm 111. What a powerful Psalm this is.
Look over each line and say it over and over a couple of times.
Psalm 111 (Good News Bible)
In
Praise of the Lord
Praise the Lord!
With all my heart I will thank the Lord
in the assembly of his people.
2 How wonderful are the things the Lord does!
All who
are delighted with them want to understand them.
3 All he does is full of honor and majesty;
his
righteousness is eternal.
4 The Lord does not let us forget his wonderful
actions;
he is kind
and merciful.
5 He provides food for those who honor him;
he never
forgets his covenant.
6 He has shown his power to his people
by giving
them the lands of foreigners.
7 In all he does he is faithful and just;
all his
commands are dependable.
8 They last for all time;
they were
given in truth and righteousness.
9 He set his people free
and made
an eternal covenant with them.
Holy and
mighty is he!
10 The way to become wise is to honor the Lord;[a]
he gives
sound judgment to all who obey his commands.
He is to be praised forever.
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! This makes me want to
sing.
With all my heart I will thank the Lord in the assembly of
His people. Verse 1
( With all my heart; I will thank you Lord; as I gather with
Your people.) (Take each line and do as I have just done as you see in
brackets. Let His word apply to and cover your life. Make it personal, because
He wants you to.)
In other words whenever you are with any number of people, 1
or 100, or any number in between; the number does not matter, it is gathering together
with one or more and the sharing of His goodness with one another that makes
the difference. Tell each other the wonderful things He has done for you or for
someone you know. Testify to His greatness! Everything God does is full of
honour and majesty, His righteousness is eternal. Verses 2 and 3 tell us this.
Verse 4, God reminds us of His wonderful actions, His
kindness and mercy. He feeds the hungry, those who want to understand His word,
He will enlighten. His covent is His oath and He never breaks an oath.
Continuing into Verses 7- 9,
He tells us His word is faithful and just; we know we can
depend on Him. His truth and righteousness is our strong foundation as we
accept His eternal covenant. This sets us free! Holy and mighty is He! Holy and
mighty is He! Again I say, holy and
mighty is He!
Let this statement settle into your heart and mind and begin
each day praising the Lord because, He is holy and mighty!!
Study His word and receive the wisdom He intends for you to
have as you honour His commands. You will soon realize that your judgement when
based on His advice, will always be good sound judgement. Verse 10.
When the plans you have for your day come under His umbrella
of protection and provision, you can rest assured your day will be full. Now I ask you, what better place is there to
be?
No wonder the last line in the Psalm says, He is to be
praised forever!
He is to be praised forever!!!!!
So praise the Lord and thank Him every day for the many blessings He bestows upon you and share His love, mercy and grace with everyone you meet.
Enjoy your Christ filled day giving glory and honour to Him and see
how wonderful your day will be as you Praise the Lord!!
