The Lord

“I will extol Thee, my God, O king; and I will bless Thy name for ever and ever. Every day will I bless Thee; and I will praise Thy name for ever and ever” (Psalm 145:1-2).

In conjunction with today’s meditation I would encourage you to read the whole of Psalm 145. The theme of this Psalm is “The Lord.”

• “Great is the Lord” (verse 3).

• “The Lord is gracious” (verse 8).

• “The Lord is good” (verse 9).

• “The Lord upholdeth” (verse 14).

• “The Lord is righteous” (verse 17).

• “The Lord is nigh” (verse 18).

• “The Lord preserveth” (verse 20).

No wonder David could say at the end of it, “My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord” (verse 21). As he considered all that the Lord is, and all the blessings that were his as a result, it really overwhelmed him and filled him with praise.

As you meditate on who the Lord is and all He has done for you and all that He is doing for you, you too will be filled with praise and thanksgiving.
