THE LORD GOD IS OUR GOD NOW AND FOREVER

Proclamation:
“For this God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our guide even to the end.”  Psalm 48:14 (NIV)

Explanation:
This psalm was written as a song, under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God, by an unknown human author for the sons of Korah to sing.  The unknown psalmist begins this psalm by praising The Lord. (Psalm 48:1)  Then he describes and celebrates the city of God which is under His protection and care.  Afterwards he focuses on the praise and presence of God. (Psalm 48:9-11)  He ends the psalm by stating that The God which he has been referring to is their God.

Application:
There is only one God.  The one and only, true and living God, The Lord God, is our God now and forever.  He is omnipotent, omniscient, and omni-present.  The Lord God directs us, guides us, and protects us, and we will follow Him until the end of this life and into the next one. (Psalm 48:14)  It is our responsibility to tell the next generation about Him. (Psalm 48:13)
