You get the strong impression that the Psalmist wants us to praise the Lord!😊 You can so feel His enthusiasm that you feel he must be jumping up and down and how he wants everybody else to catch a glimpse of how wonderful our God is.
In fact, he is so bursting with praise you can sense his frustration that he feels unable to list all the amazing miracles and things God has done for His people. Throughout this psalm he writes about everything that has happened to them all over the years and how badly they treated their God but how merciful He was to them, and how He forgave them over and over again.
We have even greater reasons to praise God for all He’s done for us. We have been given Jesus as our Saviour, our Redeemer, our Healer, Counsellor, Advocate and High Priest to name but a few of His wonderful attributes. He’s promised to never abandon or forsake us, that because He is from everlasting to everlasting, so His love toward us is the same forever and forever.
I hope we’ve caught the praise bug today and it makes us smile to want to be filled with the same enthusiasm today, so we too can go and praise and give thanks to our wonderful Saviour for all He’s done for us. Amen.
