11-16-22 THOUGHTS
We find our theme of the reading below in the last verse... “My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD”! David says “I will” a number of times here. That GOD’S GLORIOUS BEING should be broadcast to a lost and dying world, is obvious as we read. (See vs 12) The words “I WILL” below are most powerful. We must take them to heart and make them our life. About all we can offer to God is “OUR WILLINGNESS”! Let’s offer exactly that, with JOY!
Ps 145:1-21 I will extol You, my God, O King, And I will bless Your name forever and ever. 2 Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever. 3 Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, And His greatness is unsearchable. 4 One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts. 5 On the glorious splendor of Your majesty And on Your wonderful works, I will meditate. 6 Men shall speak of the power of Your awesome acts, And I will tell of Your greatness. 7 They shall eagerly utter the memory of Your abundant goodness And will shout joyfully of Your righteousness. 8 The LORD is gracious and merciful; Slow to anger and great in lovingkindness. 9 The LORD is good to all, And His mercies are over all His works. 10 All Your works shall give thanks to You, O LORD, And Your godly ones shall bless You. 11 They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom And talk of Your power; 12 To make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts And the glory of the majesty of Your kingdom. 13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And Your dominion endures throughout all generations. 14 The LORD sustains all who fall And raises up all who are bowed down. 15 The eyes of all look to You, And You give them their food in due time. 16 You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing. 17 The LORD is righteous in all His ways And kind in all His deeds. 18 The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. 19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry and will save them. 20 The LORD keeps all who love Him, But all the wicked He will destroy. 21 My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD, And all flesh will bless His holy name forever and ever.
My Prayer:
You alone, O God, are worthy of our praise. May we lift you up to our world, day and night. Help us to make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts and the glory of the majesty of Your kingdom. Excite us and awaken us to Your majestic glory. Unlock our hearts and minds and lips, O Lord, to the joyful broadcasting of your Being and Nature. May we extol your name.
In the name of our Savior, Amen.
Pray for Heather and Bob.
