Who is God like? Vv. 1-4 God is abundant in love and faithfulness. ‘Love’ is a characteristic of God, who exemplifies sacrificial love to his people. The psalmist sings of this changeless love of God. Are you sure of God’s everlasting love? To whom would you proclaim his love? Vv. 5-14 God is the Almighty Creator who has created and reigns over all the creatures of this world. He is incomparable to anyone. The psalmist gives praise to the Almighty God for giving the Davidic covenant. In this world of nature and humanity, are you happy about seeing God’s sovereignty and providence at work? What meaning does the truth - that God is the Creator and Almighty ruler - have? Is there anything you consider more important or reliable than God? Take some time to examine your heart. Pull it out from your heart, and place it in front of you. Look at the high mountains, spacious sky, and deep ocean and compare it to this small thing you’ve placed in front of you.
What lesson is God teaching me? Vv. 1,2,5-18 Blessed is anyone who praises God. The psalmist says, ‘I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever (vv. 1-2).’ A ‘Joyful sound (v. 15)’ is to cry of praise to God. God reigns with love and faithfulness; therefore anyone who takes pleasure in watching the world operate in orderly fashion and God’s enemies destroyed, walks with God and trusts in God alone. God will lift him up. Do you want to leave your name for generations to come? Blessed are those who do their best to know God and rejoice when the will of God is done.
I will be submit to God’s rule and live to praise God.
