Comments on Psalms 146-148

Psalm 146 praises God for his trustworthiness. Oh, how I agree with that! I have discovered this to be so very true in my own lifetime. So many times, He has demonstrated that He is always there, always able, always loving, always true.

Psalm 147 praises God for the way He cares for us, and for His power over creation itself. There is nothing that He cannot do.

Psalm 148 calls for all of creation to praise the Lord. And there will come a day when that will indeed happen.

Beloved, the older I get, the more I realize that He is worthy of praise. I love Him more today than the day I received Him as my Savior over 50 years ago. When you think about it, that makes sense. I love my wife, the Lovely Lady LeeAnn more than the day I married her coming up on 32 years ago. Why? Because we have gone through so many things together. And I know her better now than I did then. She has never left my side, she puts up with my idiosyncrasies, my faults, my moods, my rough edges and on and on. She loves me despite my many faults. God knows me even better than my wife does, and yet He loves me. And just as I still discover new things about my wife, I discover new things about God. Though He never changes, He reveals new things to me about Himself. The depth of our relationship continues to grow deeper as I walk with Him.

Yes, the Lord is worthy of praise.
