Psalm
115 – Who is Your God?
Gentiles
visiting Jerusalem would notice the absence of idols. Back home, they could
point to their god and introduce you to the craftsman who made them. Is your God
in heaven, ruling over all? Are you
trusting something less than God?
Be
careful! You become like the god you worship. The living God can see you, hear
your prayers, walk with you, and help you. He can speak to you from His word.
He
has blessed you; have you blessed Him? He has given you promises; do you trust
Him? He is the living God; does your life glorify him?
Psalm
116 – Death is Precious to the Lord
The
psalmist almost died, possibly because people lied to him. But when he cried
out to the Lord, the Lord saved him. The death of a believer is precious to the
Lord; He will not permit it to be merely an accident. This does not mean that
God enjoys the death of one of His own. Rather, it means that He values His own
so much that He makes death an appointment, it is a part of a loving plan. (Psalm
31:15; 139:16).
He
was surrounded by the pains of death and was worried about his future, but the
Lord gave him rest.
Praise
is the logical response when God has answered a prayer and seen you through
your difficulties.
