Psalms 72:18-19
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
who alone does wondrous things.
Blessed be his glorious name forever;
may the whole earth be filled with his glory!
Amen and Amen!
Tag: Leadership (Blessed by God)
If you didn't read the entirety of Psalms 72 and only these two verses you would be blessed by the message in them. These two verses are an expression of praise to God. However, these two verses are the summary of the entire Psalm. Psalm 72 is on leadership. Like Psalm 45 it outlines what great leadership is all about. The summarization of great leadership is found in these two verses. No matter the skill, strategy and success of a great leader, the praise and adoration goes to God. He is the "who" in the relationship. We are great leaders when we recognize that the God of the universe gives us the skills we need to lead. God puts people in positions of leadership, but God also gives people leadership skills. Solomon is telling us, in the above verses, that God is the one who is to be praised. He "alone" does wondrous things. If a leader does something good you can be assured they will take credit for it. In the above verse we recognize that God "alone" does wondrous things. He doesn't need a leader to make it happen.
