HEN God blesses us, we should smile gratefully. But how
can we bless God? As upside down as it
may seem, we can bless God. Blessing God certainly is a way to "make God
smile" so to speak. As we kneel before Him with adoring praise on our lips
and with a sincere and loyal salute, God is pleased. This psalm raises a question concerning the
appropriate quantity and frequency of our praise. There are 2 designations that
stand out to me: "every day" and
''for ever and ever'' (Psalm 145:2).
Why exactly should God be praised daily forever? The answer
is in Psalm 145:3, "His greatness is
unsearchable." If we pour out accolades in God's direction daily for
the rest of our lives, could we exhaust God's worth? Could we ever finish the
task? Is it possible to ever praise God
too much? We can systematize His
attributes, categorize His actions and analyze His characteristics, but there
will always be more than can be said. There are surely more things to be said
about God's greatness than we can ever find out. It is the nature of infiniteness. Besides, every new day brings new
opportunities for God to do more things that merit our praise. His awesome
power supersedes all, His unfathomable knowledge transcends all, His majestic
glory eclipses all, His sovereign authority cancels all, His condescending
compassion extends to all, His voluntary goodness affects all, His perfect
holiness overshadows all and His generous grace is available to all, so it is
fitting that all men should praise Him now and throughout eternity. Let's get started today!
