^NLT Psalm 145

¹ I will exalt you, my God and King, and praise your name forever and ever. ² I will praise you every day; yes, I will praise you forever. ³ Great is the LORD! He is most worthy of praise! No one can measure his greatness. ⁴ Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts; let them proclaim your power. ⁵ I will meditate on your majestic, glorious splendor and your wonderful miracles. ⁶ Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue; I will proclaim your greatness. ⁷ Everyone will share the story of your wonderful goodness; they will sing with joy about your righteousness. ⁸ The LORD is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. ⁹ The LORD is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation. ¹⁰ All of your works will thank you, LORD, and your faithful followers will praise you. ¹¹ They will speak of the glory of your kingdom; they will give examples of your power. ¹² They will tell about your mighty deeds and about the majesty and glory of your reign. ¹³ For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule throughout all generations. The LORD always keeps his promises; he is gracious in all he does.

This entire Psalm is about proclaiming the “GOD Story” from a first-hand experience. Look at the words…

The questions that came to me this morning as I pray this morning prayer and turn to meditate on this Psalm follow:

1.       Is my experience personal?

2.       How real is my experience?

3.       Is my experience so real that I do not have any difficulty expressing it?

4.       Is the expression my experience abundantly clear and profound that it captures the attention of others?

5.       Does my life express my experience and relationship bathed in the wonder of God’s ever-present fellowship in it?

6.       If this Psalm is not being fully realized in my life, what am I doing about it?

7.       Is there an urgency to know God (The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit) in my life?

8.       Is there an urgency to know God to the fullest capacity that He can be known or am I content to merely know about Him…or experience Him vicariously through the lives of others?

How about you? What comes to your mind when you ponder this Psalm? Do similar questions come to your mind???
