The two
psalms for today give three perspectives for reflection. Take them in order of importance. First, we have the perspective of God. He reigns.
The world testifies to His splendor.
He is mightier than the forces of nature which He has created. His reign is eternal. His thoughts are unfathomable. He deserves our praise because of His character.
That brings
us to His people. He exalts us. He pours fresh oil over us to cause us to
shine give off an aura of health. He
brings down our enemies. He causes us to
flourish and grow strong. We are
empowered to bear fruit for the length of our life. In other words, He looks upon us with favor
and lavishes His blessing upon us.
This brings
us to a third perspective: His enemies.
The stupid cannot fathom Him. The
fool does not understand Him. He dooms
the wicked to destruction. He scatters the evil before Him. Those who are not in Him live under a shadow
of curse and opposition.
What, then,
are we to do with all of this? In all of
this, it is good to give Him thanks. It
is good to sing His praise. It is good
to be a testimony unto Him. It is good
to be glad in Him and declare His wonder and splendor to the world around
us. We should delight in being His hands
and His feet, calling out His favor to anyone around us who will listen!
