Proclamation:
“The Lord remembers us and will bless us;
He will bless His people … He will bless those who fear The Lord, small and
great alike. May The Lord cause you to
flourish, both you and your children.
May you be blessed by The Lord, The Maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 115:12-15 (NIV)
Explanation:
The name of the human author of this psalm
is unknown, however, it is clear that it was written under the influence of The
Holy Spirit of God. This is another one
of the “Hallelujah psalms” (Psalms 112 through 118) which was sung during the
feasts celebrated by the children of Israel.
The Lord is ever mindful of us and His covenant with us. He blesses us with all kinds of blessings,
temporal, physical, and spiritual, and by protecting us and providing for
us. Those of us who fear The Lord are
blessed including the young and the old, the rich and the poor. Additionally, because of His love for us He
will also bless our children.
Application:
We may be only a number to the government,
on our job, or at school, but The Lord God knows each of us individually,
personally, and intimately. He not only
knows our name, He knows all about us including our thoughts and motives. He made us, He knows us, He loves us, and
because of that He blesses us. While we
live and breathe, and while we are able to do so, we ought to praise and thank
The Lord for all that He has done. Let
everything that breathes praise The Lord. Praise The Lord! (Psalm 150:6)
