Psalm 138:1-2. “I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise to thee. I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy words above all thy name.”
MAGNIFIED. More important than the greatest name – Of greater importance than the cause of fame – Is the word of the Lord the highest authority His word establishes His name – has highest priority.
At the sound of His word, all that is, came into being; At His word, the first humans were condemned for sinning. His word gives assurance of eternal life – His word removes obscurity and makes dark things light.
When His word is magnified, we stop to consider There are answers to issues and problems once hidden. At the word of the Lord, uncertain men followed – When God’s word is applied, insignificant things are hallowed.
The word of the Lord gives comfort to the dying – The word of the Lord, the hungry is supplying, With food for the soul, and at times the body too – The word of the Lord is forever true.
His name is holy – there is no name so high – His word promised life, and even on the cross, it was magnified. In the past, and in the present, and in the eternal day His name will be exalted in every word He will say.
I know Jesus as Savior – assured by His unchangeable word, I know He is coming again – a promise spoken by the Lord I know I will be like Him when I will see Him as He is
I know when life is over, His word promises eternal bliss.
“The word, O God, is the man of my counsel and guide. I thank Thee for the Truth contained in the scriptures that reveal all that is important in life, death, and the future. The guidance of Thy word is truly a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I give Thee thanks and praise for Thy word. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
