Scripture:
May the Lord God, the God of Israel,
who alone does wonders, be praised.
May His glorious name be praised forever;
the whole earth is filled with His glory.
Amen and amen.
Psalm 72:18-19
Observation: This psalm - while it might be written either by David or Solomon - is a prophesy about the Messiah. It declares that the son of the king will be a great ruler beyond any human understanding. He will rule beyond the possibility of human endurance, for as long as the sun and moon can possibly exist, with his name enduring forever. He will rule all people ... to the ends of the earth, and across every type and nationality of people. He will care for the downtrodden, the poor, the afflicted, the helpless, and the oppressed. Finally, his reign will be prosperous, with plenty for everyone, and all nations that call him 'blessed' will be blessed by him.
However, in the end, all of this is for the glory of Yahweh. Even the greatness of Messiah endures to glorify God, honor his great name, and define praise and worship for our Lord God.
Application: Jesus is my redeemer and savior, and Yahweh is my God and my Lord. His ways are above mine, and I only exist to honor, praise, and serve him. This is the greatest blessing, to know my eternal purpose, and live in his love. May the Lord be praised by my lips, and may that praise from me and others fill the whole earth.
Prayer: Lord, great is your love, mercy, and faithfulness. You are the great creator of all things, who alone made heaven and earth. My faith in Jesus allows me to learn about your and to know you, and provides the bridge between us so I may receive your love. Please bless my family, and allow us to be a blessing to others through word and deed daily. Amen.
