Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. Ps 66:16
Sometimes I feel like the town crier, the one who has to run and scream out loud the magnificent and marvelous things the Lord, our God has done. The worshipper, who needs to enlighten all that will hear and embrace what I have to say; shouting to the world about the One who loves me.
David pens a beautiful psalm to remind the people of God, which reverence Him, of His wondrous works. He blesses and honors the Lord because of who He is and what He has done. He invites them to come and see the great and mighty works that He is doing among His children. He encourages remembrance of how God turned the sea into dry land; how He suffered the feet of His own not to be moved; how He allowed the passing through of the fire and the water and brought them to a safe and wealthy place. David said, “When I was in trouble, He heard my cries and delivered me." David is remembering God’s love, His goodness and His mercy; His sovereignty, His authority and His power in all the earth; His favor toward His people and certainly for hearing and attending to his voice of prayer.
David’s words are for our encouragement as well and I identify with all that He has said on a personal level. I can remember and write of all the accounts in which the Lord has done for me. When faced with adversity, trials and tribulation, I am reminded that He has been there for me and has brought my feet into a safe place and kept me from harms way. I can tell God just how awesome He is and praise Him for how He works and has worked in my life. He has dried up some seas for me and allowed me to cross over; He has watched over me and kept my enemies from destroying me and has protected me from danger numerous times. He has been with me through the fire and I have walked out unburned; He has tried me and purified my soul.
I will continue to be the town crier, especially to those who truly love and reverence Him and can relate that He is the One who must be honored and given due praise for the mercy and grace that He alone gives. He is the One who redeemed and restored our soul; delivered us from bondage; made us to be someone acceptable in this present world. He does so much for us on a constant and continual basis for things we see, don’t see or even realize; and if that wasn’t enough, He gives us peace and joy, followed by hope eternal ... for that alone we should give him continuous praise with all that is within us! I am comforted in knowing that I am God’s own and I experience the adoration and devotion that He has just for me. It allows me to voice my expressions of gratitude and praise Him for who He is and what He has done for my soul, because it's personal.
So yes, I say today, come and hear, all that reverence the Lord and declare what He has done … for truly He is the lover of our soul!
Until the morning, be blessed,
Cynde
