Psalm 111 – Almighty God

Read Psalm 111

Praise the Lord! This is something to be done 24/7. Do we just reserve our praise and adoration for an hour or two on Sunday morning? Do we take time each day to give praise and honor to our God? Or do we live our lives in constant worship?

This psalm is a great reminder of why we should praise and WHO we should praise.

–how amazing are the deeds of the Lord — we should ponder them.

–his righteousness never fails

–he gives food to those who trust

–he is just and good

–his commandments are trustworthy and true

–he has paid a ransom for his people

The ransom, Jesus. Jesus came to pay for our sins and to bring us freedom. Because of Jesus we have eternal life with him. Ponder that. How can we be unmoved?

“Reverence for the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom.” Who doesn’t want to be wise. We may think we’ve got it together, but we don’t really. The world offers so much distraction and false wisdom. There’s always a new self help book, latest nutrition fad, and “spiritual” practices abound.

But, I put my trust in Biblical truth. The word of the Almighty. I want to revere God and be in awe of him, trusting and obeying him.  That’s reverence, and that’s true wisdom.

This week we are singing Chris Tomlin’s song, “ALMIGHTY” at church…in Spanish!  Here is the English version. Be moved. Click HERE.

Let’s pray. Lord, help me shut out the noise of the world and be more focused on you. May your Word speak to me. You are the King of Kings, my Almighty God, and I bow down before you. How can I help others to do the same? I pray that they will see the wonder of you that makes us complete. Show me Lord. I think of all the prayer concerns you hear each day, Lord, as our lists grow longer and longer. I cry out for all my friends and family who are separated from you. They are not building the true foundation of wisdom. Stir in their hearts the desire for you and bring others to their side. Use me to be that light to somebody today. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
