Psalm 147: Power and Love of the Almighty

The power of God is indeed awesome and almighty; God can only be praised when His power is witnessed and experienced. The love of God is amazing and marvelous; God can only be thanked when His love is felt personally. When the Lord combines His power with His love to perform blessings and good things for us it is truly wonderful; thanks and praise is the only response.

The same God who counts the stars and calls them by name is the same God who heals a broken heart, who binds up a wound, and who knows how to put things together again in the human soul better than they were before.

The same God who sends rain and grass and food for the inhabitants of earth knows how lift up the weak and the meek and how to cast down the strong enemies that seek to ruin our lives.

The same God that sends snow and ice and wind also sends His Word and command to secure peace and safety for His people.

To know the true God who uses His awesome power and His relentless love for our temporal and eternal benefit is a remarkable blessing.
