Praise His Works! Psalms 111-113

Psalms 111:7-8 (ESV)

The works of his hands are faithful and just;

all his precepts are trustworthy;

they are established forever and ever,

to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.

Psalm 111 is full of the word works.  The above verse is the fifth time the writer uses the word.   The writer is trying to tell us that what God does in His works is to be praised.   His works are faithful and just and trustworthy.     God’s works were established forever and ever.    They are performed with faithfulness and uprightness.   This psalm starts with the key phrase of the song, “Praise the Lord! I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart.”  Our praise for His work is our greatest goal.   Three reasons we don’t praise God for His works:

1.  We forget them.

2. We take credit for them ourselves. 

3. We tend to complain so much we don’t take time to praise Him.   

Spend the day praising God for His marvelous works.
