Psalm 111: 10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever.”

Dear God,

You are most worthy to be praised.  In fact it is because of You and Your creation and ongoing works, that we have anything to give praise about.  All about You is praise worthy, and consolidates for the appreciative, that You are indeed the Great and Mighty Creator, Almighty God, with all that comes from Your hand being perfect!  Your works of creation have withstood numerous arduous studies; revealing intricate detail in structure and life, which in some instances we are only just beginning to understand, and the scientist’s, never have been able to totally replicate.  Upon earth the learned scientists have only been able to play with the basic, already existing elements, and have never been able to create elements of their original making.  You as God can and have done so, Psalm 111; 2 “The works of the Lord are great studied by all who have pleasure in them.”

You God have attributes that we on this earth do not understand, for they are so vast and all comprehensive; by experience we know You are profound.  V3 and 4 “His work is honourable and glorious, and His righteousness endures forever.  He has made His wonderful works to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.”

Thank You that You are so patient and loving with all of us on earth, even though we are often so wayward and sinful; despite these behaviours of ours, You ever desire to have a loving relationship with us and save us from sin and Satan.  V9 “He who has sent redemption to His people; He has commanded His covenant forever; Holy and awesome is His name.”

God today I again accept You, as well as claim Your promises, for they are my stay and consolation.  Because You know the fragility of the human resolve and ability, the Holy Spirit has been sent to assist and lead us to You; if we so will.  I agree with the Psalmist in V7 and 8, no matter what we decide to do, Your Greatness, works and precepts are just and sure.  “They stand fast forever and ever and are done in truth and uprightness.”  V1 “Praise the Lord!  I will praise the Lord with my whole heart………”

Amen
