Scripture:
Psalmb108:3-5 –
I will thank you, Lord among all the people. I will sing your praises among the nations. For your unfailing love is higher than the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May your glory shine over all the earth.
Observation:
The psalmist places his confidence in God and thanks the Lord among not some but all people. Praises are sung to the nations, plural – not one nation. God’s love for us is so abundant and endless. His love is never failing and reaches higher than the heavens. Our God is so faithful and just. God is deserving of praise here and to all the ends of the earth.
Application:
I must place my complete confidence and trust in God! God is deserving of our thanks/praise because of who He is and what He has done. We need to praise God not only here in our church/community but for his movement among all the nations/people. God’s greatest love is when He sacrificed His son for us. We are to receive God’s bountiful love and share it with others. God really wants to have a relationship with everyone. Because God created us, He has the right to demand accountability. God is righteous and those who place their faith in him will receive blessings while those who rebel will be judged. Whatever we do, be it work, sport, hobby, serving or missions it ultimately needs to point to Him. Our lives and what we do, should bring Him glory.
Prayer:
Father,
Thank you so much for your love and faithfulness to us. May I praise and worship you as you are the only one worthy. Let me live a life to glorify you.
