Great are the Works of the Lord

Great Are the Works of the Lord

*A Reflection on Psalm 111:1-10*

Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart—not just with my words, but with everything I've got. His works are so magnificent, so vast and beautiful, that they are worth a lifetime of study, wonder, and praise.

When I look back over my journey, I see His hands at work everywhere. He rescued me when I was sinking. He has been caring for me, healing my wounds, protecting my steps, favouring me with Grace I don't deserve, and providing for my every need. He answers when I call, sees every tear I cry, guides my uncertain steps, and leads me through the darkness. He is sovereignly arranging all things for my good—straightening the crooked paths, levelling the mountains of impossibility, and filling the empty valleys of my soul.

He knows me completely. He delivers me from bondage and heals my brokenness. When the battles of life rage around me, He fights for me. He never sleeps; He watches over me constantly.

In light of who He is and all He has done, we join our voices with the psalmists of old and make this declaration our own:

  • "I will recount all Your wonders." (Psalm 9:1)
  • "I will Bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth." (Psalm 34:1)
  • "I will greatly Praise the Lord with my mouth." (Psalm 109:30)
  • "I will Praise the Lord as long as I live." (Psalm 146:1-2)

Alongside the prophet Isaiah, we join in making this confession as part of our worship:

"O Lord, You are my God! I will exalt You; I will praise Your name, for You have done wonderful things, You have worked wonders - plans formed long ago, faithful and sure - In perfect faithfulness" (Isaiah 25:1). 

You alone are God. You are our God. You are the Lord, the Eternal One—from everlasting to everlasting. Great are the works of the Lord

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London
God Blesses Israel and us.
In His Grip

The God Who Stoops to See

The God Who Stoops to See Reference Ps 113:1-3 (AMP)- Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) Praise, O servants of the Lord, Praise the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord. From this time forth and forever. From the rising of the sun to its setting The name of the Lord is to be praised [with awe-inspired reverence]. The ancient Psalmist gives us that perspective in Psalm 113. It is a short chapter, but it packs a punch that can completely recalibrate our view of God and, consequently, our view of ourselves. There are days when life feels incredibly small. We get lost in the minutiae of our to-do lists, the weight of our worries, and the echo of our own inadequacies. We look at the mountains we need to climb—the career goals, the relationship hurdles, the personal healing—and we feel like specks of dust at the base of a giant. It’s in these moments of feeling insignificant that we desperately need a new perspective. This isn't a quiet, polite suggestion. It is a declaration of...
