v.1-4. Past blessings. “Blessed be the Lord my strength…” v.5-8. Present deliverance. “Bow the heavens and come down…” v.9-11. Future praise. “I will sing a new song…” v.12-15. Peace and prosperity. “Sons as plants… daughters as cornerstones….”
Psalm 144:1-2, 15. “Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: my goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me…. Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.”
A WONDERFUL GOD – A WONDERFUL DAY. Not weaker, but stronger – arms, fingers, and hands Are empowered by One stronger than the strongest man. In goodness there is safety – what a strange contradiction! He preserves peace with weapons of gracious consideration!
He makes the mountains to smoke – and cause the fields to green! He uses lightning to start fires – to both destroy and also to clean! He uses the waters in gentle ways – then sometimes they will flood To wash away man’s dross when men have turned away from God!
He uses the things of nature to maintain balance and to keep Men from thinking they control, rather than God tending to His sheep. When I understand things and look at events from God’s point of view, It makes good sense to me when God’s ways I can review.
God is on a rescue mission to save men from Satan’s power. He never slumbers or sleeps but is active in every hour – To provide a way for men to stop and consider who God is, And bring about lasting blessings by allowing some distress.
The results will be true children; those who believe, not those who fake. For reality in God’s kingdom starts here and is revealed in the way we take. Our sons and daughters both, when real, have learned by a living faith, That God is God and He still rules, though He is a God of grace.
When people stop to think and carefully consider all God’s ways, They will see for themselves the value contained in every day’s Events that challenge us, and true happiness will bring – And together as God’s family, today, a new song we will sing.
“What a blessed day this is, Father: I have had a good time listening to Thee and then being able to speak back to Thee some of the things I have thought about, I have found great joy. A wonderful God, a wonderful day, and wonderful grace – what more could a person ask for! I praise Thee in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
