BOOK OF PSALMS

PART ELEVEN: Psalms 141-150

READ: PSALM 145

DEVOTIONAL

PSALM 145

David pens a grand doxology with overflowing praise. David has pure excitement about who God is. David loves to talk with God and talk about God. David talks with God about people and talks with people about God. There are many verses in this Psalm you can meditate on or memorize. If someone asked you about God, you could read this Psalm as a great starting point.

The character of God is flawless and inspiring.

God is holy, trustworthy, gracious, compassionate, just, and merciful. God’s kingdom is unstoppable, universal, and personal. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. God always loves us, is our burden-bearer, close to the brokenhearted, and a generous provider. We run out of words to describe His greatness because He is eternal. We will praise Him for eternity and be with Him forever.

We have been adopted into God’s family through Jesus.

One generation tells the next generation about our glorious Savior. Worship God with all your mind, heart, and soul.

Take time to reflect on what God has done in your life during the last four weeks through the book of Jonah. With God’s help, you have invested time in God’s word and now you know one book of the Bible well. You have cultivated the habit of seeking God daily and listening closely to Jesus.

You have shared Scripture where you live, work, learn, and play.

You have been empowered by the Holy Spirit. You have gained confidence in God and will live more courageously for Jesus. Review your devotional notes and celebrate the love and truth of the Lord. Choose verses to memorize as you walk by faith. God wants to lead you into new victories through the power of the Holy Spirit.

As you abide with Jesus, begin to dream again about what God wants to do in your life.

Think about how God has provided, guided, and protected. God has blessed you to be a blessing. Jesus is the One who heals us and satisfies our souls with Living Water. Give thanks to God for all breakthroughs and hope shifts. God renews our minds, restores our hearts, measures our steps, and revives us in the deepest ways.

Be devoted to spread the gospel.
