Praise the Lord, Psalm 148

This post covers what the Psalmist said about ‘praise the Lord.’

Praise the Lord describes glory for God from His creations. The Psalmist seems to consider God’s creative power from Genesis 1:1. “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

First, look up. God made everything—the stars, the universe, the sun, the moon, and the earth as it exists today. He deserves praise.

Then, the psalmist explains how it happened. God spoke and creation occurred. Therefore, praise His name.

From the earth’s standpoint, God made the earth to withstand extreme weather and life as we know it on the land and sea. Thus, give glory to God.

He made the birds, the trees, and everything with life.

Lastly, consider people. God fashioned all nations and the kings that now rule. Further, He formed a horn of blessings to take care of His people, the Israelites. As a result, they bless God.

This psalm and all the others were written over three thousand years ago. God has caused much to happen since then. As He promised, He sent His Son to the earth as the Messiah. Although Jesus was put to death on a cross, God raised Him up, allowed people to see Him alive, and then transported Jesus to sit at His right hand. Deep thanks belong to God for the sending of this Son.

Subsequently, the Apostles, left behind when Jesus ascended, established an organization, the church. Also, a way, the plan of salvation, for people to be saved. Accordingly, it became possible for people to spend eternity with God. Thus, the close relationship between God and people, lost due to sin in the garden, became available again.

So, what did we learn?

1.God’s creation provides glory for Him.

2.People utter this praise and glory.

3.God provides a way of salvation for people.
