God is Praiseworthy

The end of the year is a great time to reflect on God’s greatness and the many reasons to praise Him. David does this in Psalms 145, which is an acrostic poem of endless praise. He begins each verse with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet and provides an uplifting reminder of God's enduring faithfulness, mercy, and compassion. In the midst of life's tribulations, we can find solace in His majestic greatness and the knowledge that His love extends to all His creations. This psalm invites us to actively participate in a continual, daily chorus of praise, reminding us of the power of our individual and shared voices in celebrating His majesty.

“I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.” (145:1-3).

Therefore

Meditate on God’s greatness and proclaim it to others.

“One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty—and I will meditate on your wonderful works. They tell of the power of your awesome works—and I will proclaim your great deeds.They celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.” (Psalm 145-4-7)
