For your goodness, and your mercy towards us, we offer praise! This psalm embodies the lyrics and the true intense emotions of this song. When we begin to think on the goodness of the Lord and how merciful He is in our lives, how can we do anything else but praise Him for all that He does; for such beauty that speaks of His goodness, and His mercies to all?
It is because of His mercies that we are not consumed everyday. I think of how clueless we are as to the many dangers, seen and unseen, He keeps us from–moment by moment. We can’t see all that He sees or to what lengths of protection we receive on an individual basis; I'm not only thankful, but grateful as to how He constantly and completely covers me I often speak of the germs that are airborne, the bacteria, viruses and other things lurking in the atmosphere that vaccinations are unable to handle, yet, He defends, wards off, shelters, and watches over us continually. The Lord is so good to us all.
How then shall we speak of His tender, gentle, kind, sympathetic, caring, compassionate, and sensitive mercies? His power and His mighty acts? Boldly and willingly and without fail we should make known how wonderful He is toward us and how He is always ready, willing and able to bless us, and we should as this psalm says, praise and bless Him; make known His of works because He is worthy of glory and honor. We can speak of the splendid majesty of His kingdom and all He did to ensure our place in it.
The word says that all of His work shall praise Him, and the saints shall bless Him. Absolutely, and without a doubt you can find me giving Him praise, and glory; speaking of His wonder working power in my life. I will bless Him and His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
For your goodness and your tender mercy towards me… I offer praise!
Until the morning, be blessed,
Cynde
