(Psalm 111:1-9 NIV) “Praise the Lord. I will extol the Lord with all my heart in the council of the upright and in the assembly. {2} Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them. {3} Glorious and majestic are his deeds, and his righteousness endures forever. {4} He has caused his wonders to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and compassionate. {5} He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever. {6} He has shown his people the power of his works, giving them the lands of other nations. {7} The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy. {8} They are steadfast forever and ever, done in faithfulness and uprightness. {9} He provided redemption for his people; he ordained his covenant forever-- holy and awesome is his name.”
(Hebrews 4:12-16 NIV) “For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. {13} Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. {14} Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. {15} For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin. {16} Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
It’s hard to know where to start when remembering the wonders of God. His works are great (definitely an understatement). His deeds are glorious and majestic. He is a gracious and compassionate provider who always keeps His word. He is forever faithful and just. His words are trustworthy and true, and can be used for teaching and training in righteousness. He is steadfast and cannot be bent or swayed by the winds of this world. He subdues and moves whole nations. His will is going to be accomplished on Earth and in Heaven. He is Lord. Perhaps the best news is that through Christ we can approach this awesome God with confidence as our fear is replaced by faith. Have you replaced your fear with faith? Are you trusting in this awesome God? Praise the Lord today! Praise Him forever! -- Friar Tuck’s Word of the Day
