Psalm 145:3–4

MAGNIFICENCE!

Psalm 145:3-4. “Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.”

MAGNIFICENCE! Magnificent in His greatness – carefully controlled Wondrous in His works – more than can ever be told Mighty in His acts – each one has a purpose and reason Glorious in His honor – bringing praises in due season.

Majestic in His being – none can with Him compare Gracious in His giving – eternal blessings He does share Righteous in His person – of this our song we sing Ruling in His authority – to Him our homage we bring.

Full in His compassion – He extends blessings to us all Slow in His righteous anger – He waits for the sinner’s call Tender in His mercies – sensitive to human need Plenteous in His goodness – He hears each sinner’s plea.

Giving in His fullness – each season He returneth Open in His hands – full provision He supplieth Holy in His nature – from sin He is apart Ready in His forgiveness – He knows what is in each heart.

Near in His position – each sinner’s call He hears Discerning in His wisdom – He knows when we’re sincere Saving in His grace – He deals fully with everything Preserving in His care – from His fullness He does bring.

There is no way I can describe the Lord’s great magnificence! But I can rejoice myself and share that joy with His believing saints. With a sense of unworthiness and still with great relief, I bring my joy as a sacrifice to Him in whom I believe.

“This has been a day of sweet fellowship with Thee, Father. I thank Thee for every thought of Thyself You were willing to share with me. I thank Thee for making it possible for me to respond as the darkness of night turned into the dawn of day. Light shines in my heart as the sun brightens the earth and reminds me of Thy grace and mercy. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
