Psalms 146:5-7
Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord his God,
who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them,
who keeps faith forever;
who executes justice for the oppressed,
who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free;
Subject: Reasons to Worship God
This Psalm is about praise and worship. It is about lifting one's voice and life in a walk of praise to God. It gives us both the command to worship and the reason(s) to worship. In the above verses in particular we see the writer outline the reason we are blessed to find our help in the God of Jacob. Those who put their hope in the Lord do so because:
1. God is powerful enough to make all the heavens, earth and sea and fill them all abundantly with stars to swordfish to snails.
2. God is abundantly and forever faithful.
3. God is just and makes sure, in the end, justice is always administrated.
4. God makes sure those who are hungry (Physically, emotionally, spiritually, etc) are filled.
5. God makes sure those who are prisoners (physically, emotionally, spiritual, etc) are set free.
We have plenty of reasons to worship, praise a thank God!!!
