I was reminded today that the Lord is great. Even in the face of despair, pain or suffering, the Lord is great. We don't have to turn a blind eye to the concerns of the world or to the pain it's facing. Instead we see that concern and pain in the context of a loving and strong Father who will make everything right. Sometimes it's hard for us to understand how that works. It's hard to reconcile terrible things that happen with a God who is loving and powerful. May these questions strengthen our faith in Him. May we cling to Him all the more, knowing that the days are numbered and the world is infiltrated with evil. Praise Him, for he is good.
Psalm 145
A psalm of praise. Of David.
1 I will exalt you, my God the King;
I will praise your name for ever and ever.
2 Every day I will praise you
and extol your name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
his greatness no one can fathom.
4 One generation will commend your works to another;
they will tell of your mighty acts.
5 They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty,
and I will meditate on your wonderful works.
6 They will tell of the power of your awesome works,
and I will proclaim your great deeds.
7 They will celebrate your abundant goodness
and joyfully sing of your righteousness.
8 The LORD is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and rich in love.
9 The LORD is good to all;
he has compassion on all he has made.
10 All you have made will praise you, O LORD;
your saints will extol you.
11 They will tell of the glory of your kingdom
and speak of your might,
12 so that all men may know of your mighty acts
and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
