Short But Deep | Psalm 117:1-2
from Christian Life Hosted by Sunil BP
Psalm 117 is the shortest of the psalms— only two verses. “Praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.” What a tremendous psalm of praise this is; it’s short but deep. We don’t find too much difficulty in thanking people for what they have done for us. Even when we pay someone to work for us, we still say thank you. But sometimes we take advantage of the Lord and take for granted the things He has done for us—especially the “little” things. Do we thank Him for eyes to see, for ears to hear? Recognise and thank God for His numerous blessings. The Psalmist says, “Laud Him, all you peoples.” But billions of people in this world don’t praise the Lord because they don’t know Him. They have never been told that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. Unfortunately, many Christians for some reason are not concerned about this. How can all the nations praise Him until all the nations trust Him? Praise the Lord for His merciful kindness and enduring truth. And make every effort to tell others about the One you praise. *******^******* Think of some of the blessings you can praise God for. It’s easy to take His blessing for granted and overlook some of His greatest provisions. But though you praise the Lord, there are many who don’t. Ask Him to use you today to reach someone who does not know Christ as Savior.
