Psalm 111:1-10
Revelation 4:9-11
Worship not the creature
more than the Creator.
THE LORD IN CREATION, PROVIDENCE AND GRACE
This is an alphabetical Psalm. It teaches the mightiness of God in creation, providence and grace. Such knowledge becomes man’s true wisdom as pointed out by Calvin in the opening chapter of his Theology. Many are ignorant of what their Creator has done and hence they are foolish in heart. They never praise the Lord. A Christian should always praise the Lord through the knowledge he has received of Him as Creator, Provider, Redeemer.
All my heart shall praise Jehovah,
Before the congregation of the righteous;
Deeds of goodness are the deeds of Jehovah,
Earnestly desired of all them that have pleasure therein;
For his righteousness endureth for ever,
Glorious and honourable is his work;
He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered,
In Jehovah is compassion and goodness;
Jehovah hath given meat to them that fear him,
Keeping his covenant for ever,
Learning his people the power of his works,
Making them to possess the heritage of the heathen;
Nought save truth and equity are the works of his hands,
Ordered and sure are his commands,
Planted fast for ever and ever,
Righteous and true are his testimonies;
Salvation hath he sent unto his people,
Their covenant hath he made fast for ever;
Upright and holy is his name,
Verily, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
Yea, a good understanding have all they that do thereafter;
Zealously shall he be praised for ever.
THOUGHT: (Read Psalm 19.)
PRAYER: Help me, Father, to see Thy wonderful works in Creation.
