Good Morning!
"Praise the Lord! I will extol the Lord with all my heart..." Ps. 111:1a Do you know what the word "extol" means? According to Webster, it means: to praise highly; glorify! I will praise highly/glorify the Lord with all my heart! Amen!
This whole psalm discusses some of the characteristics of God. His creation - Creator, His righteousness endures forever - Eternal, Gracious and Compassionate, He is our Provider, Powerful, Faithful and Trustworthy, and our Redeemer.
I find it very interesting that in verse 9 it says that His name is Holy and Awesome!
However, verse 10 is the heart of the psalm - "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom."
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Psalm 111: Wisdom is a treasure. You have to care more about what God says to do than what others think or say to do. Know and apply God's Word.
In order to know what God says, we need to be in His Word! We need to have that special time with Him each day and connect with Him through His Word - the Bible and through prayer! It is so important!
The last part of verse 10 says, "To Him belongs eternal praise." As we spend more and more time with Him, we realize that is all we can do is praise Him with all that we are! It becomes something that you need to do. HE is worthy of our praise!
Have a great day!
