GET TO KNOW THE LORD

 

Ps. 111:7-8  All he does is just and good, and all his commandments are trustworthy.  They are forever true, to be obeyed faithfully and with integrity.

     One of the strengths of the Psalmist is that he knew how to observe the workings of God in life.  He recognized God’s goodness and character in nearly every circumstance and rather than look negatively at God, he looked positively.  He relied heavily on what he knew to be true about God and did not let circumstances cause him to doubt or change his mind.  It’s a lesson of life we must learn as well.

     ALL He does is just and good.  The Lord never fails in doing good and meting out justice.  ALL of His commandments are trustworthy.  There is nothing that God says that cannot be trusted.  God has NEVER spoken a lie and never will.  What God says He means and He means what He says.  We are to take His Word for what He says and faithfully live it with integrity of heart.  We are to do our best with what we know and understand and we are to do our best to grow in our understanding.  The more we know and understand the more like Him we will become.

     So, what do you know about God?  Are you looking, listening and learning about our God?  Are you regularly reading His Word to discover new things?  The more interest you show in learning about God, the more of himself He will reveal to you.  How great is our God!
