Year 5, Day 284: Psalm 147

Theological Commentary: Click Here


Discipleship Focus: Power

  • Power: This is the natural outcome when we truly get our authority from the king.  When our authority is from God, we are equipped with His power to accomplish His will.  We act on His behalf in a world that He desperately loves.

Once more we could talk about this psalm from the perspective of evangelism.  After all, isn’t this psalm about declaring the glory of the Lord?  That being said, I think the theme of the psalm is found in Psalm 147:4.  Great is the Lord, abundant in power.

It is His power that gathers the outcasts, binds up the broken, and heals the brokenhearted.  It is the Lords power that brought creation into existence and brings forth grass for the animals to eat.  It is through His power that we know His blessing.  It is through the power of the Lord that our human race can even know peace.  It is through His power that we even know season of the year.

God is indeed powerful.  He is more powerful than we could ever know.  But what I find amazing in this scenario is that as great as the power of the Lord is He still desires relationship with us.  I can bring nothing to Him that He cannot bring Himself.  Yet He still desires relationship.
