I’m reminded
today of a great truth. God is the power
behind the workings of the world. His mercy
is all over creation, as the psalm says.
He is gracious and slow to anger.
He is faithful, upholding those who have fallen. He provides our daily needs. He preserves those who love Him.
In this, God
invites us to work with Him. While there
are many ways to do the work of the Lord, there is one thing that is greater
than all the rest. As this psalm says,
one generation proclaims the works of the Lord to the next. While we are His hands and feet, the reality
is that God can move mountains on His own should He desire. What we can do well is to be a living
testimony for the works of the Lord. We
can make sure that people are given the opportunity to see God’s hand in the
events around them.
Don’t get me
wrong. Jesus Himself teaches that if God’s
people keep silent that God can make the rocks cry out on His behalf. God doesn’t need us to be His testimony. It is, however, the greatest part we can play
in His work. We lift up the greatness of
the Lord to the world around us.
It is right
for us to join David’s sentiment in the end of this psalm. We should praise the Lord. We should be a part of our generation’s participation
in blessing the name of the Lord forever.
