Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men …” (Psalms 107:8 *NIV)
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Today, we will look at the shortest Chapter in the Bible. It is located
very close to the center of the Bible as well. The Chapter I am speaking
of is the 117th Division in the Book of
Psalms. Though it is only two verses of praise for our Heavenly Father, it
gives us two big reasons to praise Him indeed!
Psalm 117
1. Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!
[Laud] means, "to speak
very well of." The Hebrew word for [Gentiles] means all people
except the Jews; thus this word means all other groups, along ethnic or
language lines.
2. For His merciful kindness is great toward us, and the truth of the
Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!
[Merciful kindness] refers to God's
faithfulness to His Covenant promises, to His Children all over the World.
Have you ever said to yourself, "I can't think of anything that God has
done for me lately? Therefore how can I praise Him?" Well, this
short Psalm gives us the two big reasons to praise our Heavenly Father: His
tremendous love toward us and His faithfulness that endures forever. So just
think, if God did nothing else for us … He would still be worthy of our highest
praise everyday!
Have a Wonderful Day and may the Love of God fill your heart and mind, today
and always! Amen!
In His Love & Service,
