FAITH CAPSULE: What a wonderful God we serve?

Psalm 103, Psalm 139

The one that knows and understands the wonder of God in His creation of man will know what it means to praise God with understanding.
The Psalmist testified, “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.” (Psalm 139:14) The Psalmist declared that his praising of God is rooted in his fear. He declared the wondrous hand of God. Psalmist testified the glory of God in God’s creation of man and stated: God is mindful of man; man is the one that God pays visit to; man is made a little lower than the angels; man is crowned with glory and honor. (Psalm 8:4-5) The Psalmist went further stating: God made man to have dominion over the works of His hands; all things were made to be under the feet of man. (Psalm 8:6-7) Consider that all God has done and invested into man demands from man to agree that God made man to be His wonderful creation.
What a wonderful God we serve? Man, having been made so wonderful with honor by God and not get to know and understand God is undoubtedly set to perish. Psalmist buttressed, “A man who is in honor, yet does not understand, is like the beasts that perish.” (Psalm 49:20) God, having bestowed so much upon man is not wrong to have so much expectation from man in obedience to His command.
Just as if all God has done for man is not enough, He went further to put in place loads of daily benefits for man. King David testified God’s daily benefits, “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation!” (Psalm 68:19) King David agreed that blessing the name of God should be rooted in understanding and not just by mouth. David went further in Psalm 103 to identify the daily benefits of God for man: He forgives all our iniquities; heal our diseases; redeems life from destruction; crowns us with loving kindness and tender mercies and satisfy our mouth with good things. (Psalm 103:1-5) The daily benefits are evident in our life daily.
The point here is that, it is important for us to know and understand how man is wonderfully made and daily loaded with benefits. At all times of your praising and blessing His Holy name, let it be rooted in understanding. Think by remembering what else can provoke God in your praising and blessing with understanding. Proverbs 13:15 says, “Good understanding gains favor” Become a good understanding vessel in God’s hand.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace that  within you, blessing and praising God for a new day and a new month shall always be your portion.
