He Is Everything
I feel overwhelmed with trying to fathom the Power & Presence of the Lord. I’m not sure who the writer of Psalm 33 is, but it sounds a bit like the worship leader penned this passage. I am still letting it resonate within my heart this morning. Check this out….
Worship
1 Let the godly sing for joy to the Lord;
it is fitting for the pure to praise him.
2 Praise the Lord with melodies on the lyre;
make music for him on the ten-stringed harp.
3 Sing a new song of praise to him;
play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy.
His Word Holds True
4 For the word of the Lord holds true,
and we can trust everything he does.
5 He loves whatever is just and good;
the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth.
He Created With His Voice
6 The Lord merely spoke,
and the heavens were created.
He breathed the word,
and all the stars were born.
7 He assigned the sea its boundaries
and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.
8 Let the whole world fear the Lord,
and let everyone stand in awe of him.
9 For when he spoke, the world began!
It appeared at his command.
10 The Lord frustrates the plans of the nations
and thwarts all their schemes.
The Lord’s Plans Stand Firm
11 But the Lord’s plans stand firm forever;
his intentions can never be shaken.
12 What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord,
whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.
He Understands Our Hearts
13 The Lord looks down from heaven
and sees the whole human race.
14 From his throne he observes
all who live on the earth.
15 He made their hearts,
so he understands everything they do.
He Rescues & Protects
16 The best-equipped army cannot save a king,
nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.
17 Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory—
for all its strength, it cannot save you.
18 But the Lord watches over those who fear him,
those who rely on his unfailing love.
19 He rescues them from death
and keeps them alive in times of famine.
He Is Our ONLY HOPE
20 We put our hope in the Lord.
He is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
22 Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord,
for our hope is in you alone.(Psalm 33:1-22 NLT)
These above headings are mine. I can’t single out one part of this Psalm because it so covered me with a feeling of His Presence and I am in awe of Him this morning. This passage gave me some clarity and perspective of the Lord. I just want to sit in His Presence and soak for a few. I am humbled that He enjoys my presence with Him. I’m thankful that He is so patient and kind when my memory lapses and my heart strays from Him.
Pressing On!
