There are so many great things to
choose from our reading. Cherish the words because I am unfortunately only able
to comment on one idea.
I love the attributes of God. Today
the Psalmist reminds us of that by comparing against other “gods” and deities. “Their
idols are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands. They have
mouths but cannot speak, and eyes but cannot see. They have hears but cannot
hear, and noses but cannot smell. They have hands but cannot feel, and feet but
cannot walk, and throats but cannot makes a sound.” (Psalms 115 4-7 NLT) Their
gods are formed by human hands, and while they have physical features, they are
simply just a carving. Their gods do not hear their prayers. Their gods do not communicate
to them. Their gods do not move and work in their life. Their gods are just a
human creation.
But our God, the one true God is
master and creator of all. “Our God is in the heavens, and he does as he
wishes.” (Psalms 115:3 NLT) The Psalmist reminds the nation of Israel to trust
in the LORD. Over and over again we are reminded to trust in the Lord. Why?
Because our God is a living God who cares deeply about us. He is not an inanimate
object, he is living, breathing and strong enough for us to put our trust into
him!
Little side note, as I was this post I
was listening to Spotify and the song Those
Who Trust by Waterdeep Worship came on. What an awesome song as I was writing
the words “trust.” God reassures in some really cool ways. Here is a video of a
worship band singing this song after their opening prayer.
