Psalm 145 - 7.29.21

Scripture - What stood out?

Psalm 145:4

One generation shall commend your works to another,

    and shall declare your mighty acts.

Observation - What does it say?

A psalm of David that is couched in the heart of praise for God. A song that remains positive for the sake of God’s name and not positivity’s sake.

Understanding - What does it mean?

I will extol you, my God and King,

    and bless your name forever and ever

I love how this psalm begins! I extol you, my God and King...Wow. What an immediate shift to the atmosphere, my attitudes, and my desires! I could probably copy and paste the entire psalm in this section but I will control myself.

Today verse four stood out to me. As I get older and the gap/ability to communicate to the younger...eep...generations (plural) widens I have found myself searching for ways to “communicate” God to others. It is legitimately one of the most amazing things ever when God answers you in His word the bible. 

Life Application - How can I apply this to my life today?

I will declare your mighty acts to the other generations!

Lord, I pray today that you will send me somebody from a different generation that I may declare how mighty and wonderful and awesome and powerful and loving and gracious and how amazing you are to them. I would like to share with them about the talking donkey, or the giant fish that swallowed a man whole, or even about how you brought dry bones to life! Thank you Lord. In the name of Jesus do I pray, amen.
