Because of who You are
Rod ShimabukuroPraise the LORD, all nations! Extol him, all peoples! [2]For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD! Psalm 117
Why is the Psalmist praising Yahweh? Why is he calling all nations and peoples to Praise their God? Is it because of the blessings He extends? Is it because of the great things He does or has done? The steadfast love and faithfulness of God is the evident reason the Psalmist calls his choir to Praise the Lord! This short, potent Psalm beckons me to honor my God!
As the the year winds down to it’s end, my hearts response is to look backwards to recall the steadfast love and faithfulness of the Lord. I have been so blessed, so provided for, so covered by His faithful hand upon me and my family. My only reply is to live a life worthy of praising my God!! I don’t’ want just my words, lyrics in a song to praise Him. I want my life’s actions, the way I treat my awesome wife and family, extended family, friends and the family of God - to extol the Lord God!
Yahweh,
Thank you for Your faithfulness and love - Your character - who YOU ARE… is seen through what You’ve done in my life. The great things You have done because of Your great character. Thank You for being and extending love and faithfulness to me…Beckie..Kai, Koa, Malia…
I Love You Lord!
