Praise the Lord Always (July 24, 2013)

LET THEM GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD FOR HIS
UNFAILING LOVE AND HIS WONDERFUL DEEDS
FOR MEN,
    ( Psalms 107:8 *NIV )

 Today, we will look at the shortest Chapter
in the Bible.  It is located very close to the center of the
Bible as well.  Now the Chapter I am speaking of is the
117th in the Book of Psalms. Though it is only two
verses of praise for our Heavenly Father, it gives us two
big reasons to praise Him indeed!

                              Psalm 117

1. Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him,
all you peoples!

[Laud] means, "to speak very well of."   The Hebrew word
for [Gentiles] means all people except the Jews; thus this
word means all other groups, along ethnic or language
lines.

2. For His merciful kindness is great toward
us, and the truth of the Lord   endures
forever.  Praise the Lord!

[Merciful kindness] refers to God's faithfulness to His
Covenant promises, to His Children all over the World.

 Now, have you ever said to yourself, "I can't
think of anything that God has done for me lately. Therefore
how can I praise Him?"  Well, this short Psalm gives us
two big reasons to praise our Heavenly Father; His
tremendous love toward us, and His faithfulness that
endures forever.  So just think, if God did nothing else for
us He would still be worthy of our highest praise everyday!

 Have a Wonderful day, and may the
Love of God fill your heart and mind, today and always!
Amen.  Amen Indeed!
