Psalm 145:1-12

Psalm 145:1-12
English Standard Version (ESV)

  Alleluia, Amen!
  All of God's works shall join in the eternal chorus that is praising his name.  Our voices shall fall into the rhythm that will, one day, be as natural as our heartbeat--praise to the God who created, to the God who is glorious in his splendor, who is wonderful.  Every moment we meditate on this majestic God is a moment wisely spent, a moment preparing for eternity. Our God is grace, mercy and peace, and the more time we search for God in this life, the more those qualities will sear themselves into our lives.
  God is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.  These are the qualities we strive to have as parents, and these qualities are what God reveals as our gracious Father.  He loves us, and he forgives our faults and failures.  Sin angers him, but he doesn't immediately lash out in vengeance, but rather seeks us out and encourages us to repent and be made new.

  God loves you.  May our lives praise his name for this love!
