GREAT IS THE LOVING KINDNESS OF THE LORD GOD

Proclamation:
“I will praise You, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of You among the peoples.  For great is Your love, higher than the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.”  Psalm 108:3-4 (NIV)

Explanation:
The words of this psalm were written by King David under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God.  This psalm repeats some of the inspired passages from the fifty-seventh psalm (Psalm 57:7-11) and from the sixtieth psalm. (Psalm 60:6-12)  David was steadfast in his love of The Lord God and he was going to sing and praise Him in front of the congregation of the righteous and before the unsaved world.  He knew that God’s love for him bigger than anything on earth.

 Application:
We all need to change our perspective on life and present a much more positive outlook.  We need to be joyful regardless of the situation.  Whatever it is that we are going through, we ought to count it all as joy. (James 1:2)  When we think of the things which He has done for us, we ought to praise Him.  We ought to be thankful for the blessings which we have already received, and we should continually praise The Lord.  His loving-kindness towards us exceeds our capacity to understand it or comprehend it.  “With God we will gain the victory …” (Psalm 108:13) and “All things work together for good to them that love God …” (Romans 8:28) so we should praise His Holy Name.
