THE JOY OF FAITH IN THE LORD
Psalm 14<: 1-10
While moat of the paalma are filled with adoration and
praiaea of God, the last five are particularly so. Each of
them begins and closes with the exhortation, "Praiae ye
the Lord." Gratitude for our aalvation and its resultant
blessings should prompt us to praise God.
The Praise of God's Person ? Psalm 144:1-5
The Psalmist considered himself to be obligated to praise
God, Who was the aource of his temporal and eternal life.
He announced his resolute intention of continuing his per
sonal habit of praising God as long as he had breath with
which to do so. As he contemplated God's goodness and
graciousness to him, his heart was filled to overflowing
with gratitude. Ascription of praise to God was an act of
worship which he refused to neglect.
The vow which the Psalmist expressed in verse two in
cluded being, living, singing, speaking, and doing. With
genuine appreciation of God's person, love, mercy, power,
and blessings, he resolved that he would praise God. Unlike
the Psalmist in this respect, we repeatedly approach God
with our petitions for the blessings which we desire, but we
neglect to express our gratitude in praise.
Verse three is a timely warning against putting our con
fidence and trust in princes or other leaders, because they
are mere human beings and are, therefore, weak, fickle,
changeable, and unreliable. The help which we need is
found in and comes from God in Whom it is always safe to
trust. God's power is unlimited, so our safety and hap
piness lie in our complete reliance upon Him Who never
fails His own.
The Praise of God's Performances ? Psalm 146:6-10
God our Creator is entitled to the hearty and joyous
praises of all His children, fn all the ages since creation
God has done millions of mightly works for His people. His
might in creation has been matched beautifully by His
mercy in redemption, salvation, protection, preservation,
and provision. He has ever been, is now and always will be
both the helper and the only hope of His people. What a
comfort and encouragement to know that God will never
cease to minister to our needs !
God extends great mercy to the oppressed, provides food
for the hungry, liberates prisoners and sends them on their
ways rejoicing, gives sight to the blind, opens the eyes of
those who are blind spiritually, and thereby enables them
to see their true condition by nature, to understand that
they are unable to save themselves' to become convinced
of their need of salvation by a supernatural Saviour, and to
know that Christ is the only Saviour.
God also delivers the afflicted from their distresses and
alleviates their sufferings. Just as certainly as He raises up
those who are bowed down by the weight of their in
firmities, God delivers those who are heavy laden with sin
and stooped beneath the burden of it. He refreshes the souls
of His people, who are distressed and afflicted, with new
demonstrations of His love and grace toward them. He also
relieves the troubles and distresses of fatherless children
by supplying their needs. Then, God comforts the widows
in their sorrows, which have been caused by the loss of
their respective husbands.
By way of contrast, God turns upside down the way of the
wicked to such an extent that their schemes are blasted
and their plans are thwarted so completely that their ac
complishment is beyond the realm of possibility.
Let all of God's children, individually and collectively, in
compliance with the will of God, by word and by deed join
in praising the King of kings and the Lord of lords, Who will
reign for ever and ever on His majestic throne !
