Year 5, Day 243: Psalms 113-114

Theological Commentary: Click Here


Discipleship Focus: Up

  • Up: Up is the word we use for what we worship.  If we are following God’s will, God will occupy the Up position.  Our life, our identity, our mission, our family on mission is all derived from Up.  This is why God needs to be in our Up position.

Here we clearly have another worship psalm.  Who is like God?  Who can do what God does?  Who else is there from the rising of the sun to its setting?  Who can always look down upon the earth and see it in its entirety?

Our God is majestic.  He is unmatched.  He can do all things without equal.

But what makes God incredibly worthy of our praise is how He uses His majesty.  When we were yet sinners, He rescued us.  He used His immense power to save us.  He used all the power at His disposal not to put us in our place but to lift us up out of it.  Not unlike those Hebrew people in Egypt, He has bought us and borne us out of our turmoil and is walking us into the Promised Land.  He is worthy to be praised!
