Short And Sweet

"Praise the LORD, all nations! Extol him, all peoples! For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD! "-Psalm 117

Psalm 117 is short, but oh so sweet. There is nothing quite like starting your morning with a promise like the one contained in this concise Psalm. God's love is steadfast, and His redemptive grace is toward us (believers). God's faithfulness, His eternal truth (Psalm 100:5), will endure forever-- to all generations. On a morning when my selfish desires and sinful thoughts began to creep in the minute my feet hit the floor, I was especially glad to be reminded of God's mercy-- that I have been bought by Christ's blood and He promises that "the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out" (John 6:37), and "everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life" (John 6:40).

It is amazing that God allows us to know Him and that He shows His steadfast love to us as believers. What a joy and priviledge to worship this great God!
