🙌 Praise the Lord | Psalm 115:1–18
from Amwell Church of the Brethren · host Amwell Church of the Brethren
In a cynical world that frequently asks, "Where is your God?", it can be tempting to give credit to human strength or surrender to creeping doubt. This inspiring message dives into Psalm 115 to remind us why all honor, glory, and praise belong solely to the Lord, who sovereignly rules from the heavens. By contrasting lifeless man-made idols with the living, personal God who sees, hears, and redeems, we are challenged to examine where our true trust lies. Discover how praising God in both triumphs and trials shifts our focus from worldly chaos to His unfailing mercy, grace, and eternal provision.
