Psalm 145

A praise song of David.
Of God who eternally is.
One of whom generations would pass on to the next generations,
Concerning His greatness, His compassion, and His righteousness
Yet, though generations after generations may have passed,
He reminds the same.
The same God at the beginning of time, the One David praises, is the same God we worship today.

How is it that David can write an entire psalm of praise so seemingly easily,
while I struggle with a 300 word impression?
How is it that words of praise are so abundant in the life of David,
while it seems so sparse in ours?

Every day
I will bless You....

I will bless... I will kneel before You.. I will adore You...
We must consider the level of our adoration for our Lord Jesus today.
When our mouth utter words of praise, does our hearts resonate with the same awe towards our Almighty?
While it is easy for us to recite the entire Psalm 145, do we actually "amen" to every verse?

I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty,
And on Your wondrous works.

Spiritual nurture... Quiet time.. Reflection...
Why is it that we find ourselves with no praise on our lips?

Have our lives gotten so busy that we find no time for quiet reflection?
If we do not first hush our surroundings and keep silent, how do we expect to hear the still, small voice and how will we bring to remembrance the difficult times He carried us through?
And if we do not take time to consider the wonderful works of God, how will we remember His awesome creation?

If we live life in a constant rush; if we do not take time to smell the flowers, or play in the rain; if we are constantly on the go, or on-line, surrounded by people, work, play, entertainment,... how shall we experience the divine?

How will we experience God...

if we do not first stop,
and close our eyes,
and meditate on the glorious splendor of His majesty,
And remember how He has created the earth out of nothing, man out of the dust of the earth,
And remember how He has delivered His people from the time of old 'til today from the clutches of sin
Just so that we can be His children, and enjoy the blessings of being one.

How will we experience God's awesomeness and praise Him if we do not stop, and be still?

Be still, and know that I am God... (Psalm 46:10)

If we do not do this everyday, we will forget.

Every day I will bless You...
Every day I will meditate on Your majesty and wondrous works.
