Psalm 117

117 O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.

Praise:  to express approbation of; extol commend applaud

to glorify

To determine the worth of 

To hold I esteem

approval

respect

to like him

Louder than the super bowl winnings!  The sounds of the Lord ought to be heard.  It is better to praise Him than to not praise Him.  Imagine the noise of terror; A noise that God never meant for man to know or learn.  

This verse is clear and precise!  It is short and to the point!  Praise Him if you understand why and if you understand a little about God.  Practice praising Him until you are convinced of why it is necessary to obey Him in praise!

What if I knew Everything God kept me from?  What if I knew all the good things He has planned for me?  If I believe that He is God, then my praise is all that He ask of me.  I can do that!!!!

2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lordendureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord. 

Why should I praise Him?  Because His merciful kindness is a whole lot!  I can't imagine the width or height of his forgiveness.  I only know I look forward to it everyday. and His truth is from the day He spoke until forever.  Imagine being around someone who is faithful in telling the truth.  Not one ounce of deciet in them.

When I think of God, I think of what I would like all the time from others.  Every move and word spoken from  God is true and exact.  Because I am not as truthful as I would like to be or as truthful as I am learning to be, I cannot imagine the truth of God.  His mind is true, His tongue is true, His promise is true. He has no evil thought toward me, He doesn't second guess Himself about me, He does not talk negatively about me, He always understands me.  I want my "me" to be like my God.  Lord, help me to grow to become more of who You already are.

Merciful:  

compassion forbearance shown to an offender 

kindness extended to someone instead of strictness or severity

A sentence of imprisonment rather than of death imposed in clemency  on a person convicted of first degree murder

a blessing regarded as an act of divine favor or compassion

  For the last several days, I have been so engulfed with making short videos per verse in the Minor prophets that I did not feel it necessary to put in words my comments. But tonight, I want to share my summarize what I have learned from Jonah to Zephaniah.  I have discovered so much about God and myself; I left screaming who can I tell? God has put in His Word all the counseling I need or ever wished I knew existed.  He left everything I ever needed to know in His Word.   Once I was stuck on a few familiar scriptures that were good for me, but I had no idea God knew so much about my decisions on an everyday basis.  I never knew it mattered to Him to tell me everything about my life or words to share with others when they need to make the right choices.  God's Word is personal.  I have learned so much since the book of Daniel through the minor prophets; it amazes me in and out.  God knows everything about everything.  He has feelings, and He...
