Giving Praise to the Lord for His Abundant Greatness

Psalm 145:1-4 NIV

We, the created, ought to give praise to our Creator for He is worthy. Here, David declared: “I will exalt You,” and he addressed the Father, recognizing His superiority and His royal status, saying, “my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever” (v.1). Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever” (v.2). Yes, he declared that he was   committed to always lift up the Lord!  

In verse 3 He continued to declare that the Lord is great, that is, mighty, and is worthy above all other to be praised; “his greatness no one can fathom.” In other words, no one can ever know the vast nature of God, yet because we are in a relationship with Him, we are called to be more like Him. Isaiah 55 says: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord (55:8). “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts” (55:9). 

The psalmist continued giving praise to the Lord for His abundant greatness. He prophesiedthat one generation will be a witness of the mighty acts of God to another (v.4). In everyday life we all eagerly share good news about someone special to us with other family, friends, and acquaintances on face book, Instagram, and other forms of communication. Therefore, we should take greater delight in sharing with others the good news of God’s mighty acts and all He has done for us. 

Lift your voice and shout, “Glory!”
