Dear
Friend,
If you do not already have a habit of gathering daily manna the first thing in the morning (we can look at the example given to us in Exodus 16 and find the pattern for collecting daily manna), make it a habit. Establish your life and your schedule to allow you the necessary time to do your daily collection first thing every morning to give you the strength to make it through the day. And remember that today’s manna will not be sufficient for tomorrow; tomorrow’s manna must be collected tomorrow morning. Saturday, November 4, 2017
Today's Passage : Today's Passage: Subject:The Mightiness of God Bible Verse:Psalm 145 (NKJV) "I will extol You, my God, O King; And I will bless Your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; And His greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts. I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, And on Your wondrous works. Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, And I will declare Your greatness. They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, And shall sing of Your righteousness. The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in mercy. The Lord is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works. All Your works shall praise You, O Lord, And Your saints shall bless You. They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, And talk of Your power, To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, And the glorious majesty of His kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And Your dominion endures throughout all generations. The Lord upholds all who fall, And raises up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look expectantly to You, And You give them their food in due season. You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them. The Lord preserves all who love Him, But all the wicked He will destroy. My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord, And all flesh shall bless His holy name Forever and ever. " Message:
This is the final psalm of David, his ultimate hymn to God. It is plainly a psalm of praise and, as a masterful example of such, can be terrifically useful in our worship life. Often enough, we might want to extol our love and honor of God but we lack the words to describe the feelings of awe God’s majesty engenders in us; we need only turn to Psalm 145 for assistance.
tructurally, the psalm is an odd duck. It belongs to the “alphabetical” psalms, that is, psalms in which each line begins with a different letter of the Hebrew alphabet, in order. Psalm 145, however, omits the Hebrew letter Nun, corresponding to our “N”. (Translations break some lines for readability; there were only 22 letters in the ancient Hebrew alphabet, and it was 21 lines long in the original.) Nobody knows what this odd structure symbolizes.
Some scholars speculate that omitting one letter shows a sense of humility, corresponding to the incompleteness of human understanding or morality. But even if correct, nobody has a sensible theory why David omitted “Nun” rather than another letter.
“Among visible creatures, men have most reason (because they have reason) to praise God; and among men gracious men have most reason to praise God, because they have grace. And therefore as soon as ever David had said, ‘All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD‘, he adds in the next words, ‘and thy saints shall bless thee. They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power.‘ As if he had said, As all thy works, O Lord, praise thee, so saints (who are the choicest pieces of thy workmanship) have cause to do it above all: they cannot but be speaking and talking of thy kingdom and power, which are very glorious.” ~ Joseph Caryl.
Meditation : Prayer : May the love of the Lord Jesus draw us to Himself; May the power of the Lord Jesus strengthen us in his service; May the joy of the Lord Jesus fill our souls. May the blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Be among us and remain with us always...Amen |
