“No One Can Comprehend His Magnificence”

Psalm 145 November 4

Throughout the month of November I intend to focus on giving thanks to our God.  Today’s devotional is from Psalm 145:1-3.
 

 

Psalm 145:1-3

 
“I will lift my praise above everything to You, my God and King!
    I will continually bless Your name forever and always.
 My praise will never cease—
    I will praise You every day;
    I will lift up Your name forever.
 The Eternal is great and deserves endless praise;
    His greatness knows no limit, recognizes no boundary.
    No one can measure or comprehend His magnificence.”
 
 
It is so easy to take things and people for granted, and we must be mindful that we live with hearts that are full of thanks especially to our loving God and the loved ones and friends in our life.  Today I am encouraging you to think about how wonderful and good the Lord has been to you.   Day in and day out He faithfully meets us as we open our eyes each morning.   He is always there for us throughout our day.   Even when we fall and mess up, again He is faithful.  As the psalmist writes in verse three, God is much greater than anyone can understand!  
 
 
 
Have you ever tried to figure out the word “eternity.”     I have, and it never ceases to leave me speechless and in awe. This is just one of the many wondrous things about God that are far above and beyond our comprehension.  Have you pondered how great His love is toward you today?   Is it not the most wonderful thing to know that He loved you enough to send His Son to die for you?  Have you stopped and thanked Him today for His forgiveness and paused to try to figure out the depth of His compassion that forgiveness brings to you?  I marvel as I think about how He not only forgives us but He totally washes us clean and restores our souls.  
 
 
Let us think about more of His divine attributes…His grace and mercy  recognizes no boundaries and they are new each morning as we face new challenges.   No, we will never be able to totally comprehend His greatness, but we can always continue to offer thanks and worship to Him for all that He is to us!  Give thanks to the Lord for there is no measure of His magnificence!
