Today I'm looking at Psalm 146
This is one of those Psalms I feel is overlooked at times.
This Psalm falls into five parts:
V. 1-2
When to Praise the Lord.
V. 3-4
Who not to Trust in.
V. 5-7
The Hope we have in the Lord.
V. 8-9
The Deeds of the Lord.
V. 10
The Crescendo!
When to Praise the Lord.
We must praise Him while we are alive.
Not just some of our years but all the years we we live knowing that He is the Lord.
Who not to Trust in.
Oh we should know this but still it has to be mentioned.
Humans are human they are not perfect as God is perfect.
Man has been given life by God and one day each man will lose that life he has been given.
We are finite so can not be the true inspiration for anyone.
The Hope we have in the Lord.
We have true happiness & help when we trust in God because He is our Hope.
The Deeds of the Lord.
Look how much we are told God does just in these few short verses.
He is the Creator, the Truth, the honest Judge, the Provider, the Rescuer, the Healer, the Uplifter of our souls, the Lover of Righteousness, the Carer.
But we must not forget He is also the one who will confront the wicked.
The Crescendo!
The Psalmist again ends as he started this Psalm with Praise for the Lord.
We are not to choose when or how often we should Praise the Lord.
We are to do it while we live.
While we have breath.
We are to do it while we live.
While we have breath.
We should start our days with Him in Praise and end them in Praise
to the only one who is worthy of that Praise.
To God be the praise forever and forever!
