Comments on Psalm 145

Have you ever sat down and made a list of all the blessings in your life? All the good things from your past and from the present, and even your future? It's a great exercise. 

You might feel as if there isn't much to put on your list. Maybe life has been difficult for you. I have some very close friends who have had severe health problems for decades. Recurring cancer, multiple sclerosis, cognitive decline, diabetes, heart attacks. And yet, they praise God for their blessings. They have family that loves and supports them. They live in an area that has always been their dream, though in a humble home. Their faith is strong. The God that David praised in this Psalm is their God, and He is as faithful to them as He was to David. The same God who was with Daniel in the lion's den is with them. And the same God who forgave the thief who was on the cross next to Him forgives my friends. And he forgives me, and he forgives you if you have asked Him to forgive you and to be your Savior.

Beloved, oh my goodness we have so much to be thankful for, and to praise God for. I really like the way David closed this Psalm: I will praise the Lord. Let everyone praise his holy name forever.
