PSALM 113 ~ 22 APRIL 2008

Author Unknown

Praise His Name & His Acts!

How appropriate it is to start the Passover meal by meditating on Who is our God & His actions! There are 3 areas of praises that the psalmist draws our attention to:

(i) Praise God’s Name v1-3
(ii) Praise God the King v4-5
(iii) Praise His deeds v6-9

A person’s name (reputation) is often associated with His actions. We see the Lord looking out for the poor & disadvantaged and making sure that He endows them with every dignity beyond just taking care of their basic needs, v 6-9.

We are reminded again of how God lowered Himself to save us in Ephesians 2:6-7 “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.”

Application:
Take time to evaluate our own deeds today. Are we generous & kind like our Lord in the way He looks out for the disadvantaged around or are we more self-centred? Allow Him to grant you His big heart today!
