PSALM 40
You have multiplied, O Lord my God,
your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us;
none can compare with you!
I will proclaim and tell of them,
yet they are more than can be told. ESV
NONE CAN COMPARE WITH YOU
Right in the middle of this verse, is this amazing statement, indeed nothing can even come close to the God of the universe,
He alone is the one true God, he is the one creator God, he alone can flood the earth, he alone is the one who can open the red sea and provide daily manna for up to two million people every day.
Is there any so called gods, who can do this?
Not on your life, Elijah tested these so called gods on mount Carmel in 1 Kings 18, he laughed them to scorn, and so should we.
Our God is one who doesn't just do things, he is our father, this God is not some distant deity, he is personal, he is our father, saviour, friend and redeemer.
When God shows his care and his love in such a way, it is our joy to tell people, what he has done for us. Yet if would take thousands of years to tell of what God has done for us, we have only a short time to tell people, what God means to us and what God has done for us.
Time is very short.
Have you taken time to proclaim, what God has done for you.
Take time to tell someone today.
God bless you

PSALM 115
1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,
for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!
2 Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?”
3 Our God is in the heavens;
he does all that he pleases.
4 Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
5 They have mouths, but do not speak;
eyes, but do not see.
6 They have ears, but do not hear;
noses, but do not smell.
7 They have hands, but do not feel;
feet, but do not walk;
and they do not make a sound in their throat.
8 Those who make them become like them;
so do all who trust in them.
WORTHLESS IDOLS
Man seeks to make fun of God, he says where are you? He is truly depraved and needs a change of heart, that only God can do through Christ.
His heart is truly turned against his creator, his whole mindset, is to blame God and to say " where are you"?
What he doesn't realise is that it is God, who is in charge, he does exactly, what pleases him.
In verse 1, the church is to give glory to our Lord, where the world seeks to put God down, the church must seek to uplift him.
The idols of the world are useless, they bring no comfort in times of trouble, they cannot comfort the bereaved, transform a marriage, only the true and living God can and does do that.
Psalm 2 comes to mind, we have to kiss the son, we have to come to trust him, these nations instead of cursing Christ, must confess Christ.
4 He who sits in the heavens laughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6 “As for me, I have set my King
on Zion, my holy hill.”
7 I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, “You are my Son;
today I have begotten you.
8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and the ends of the earth your possession.
9 You shall break[b] them with a rod of iron
and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.”
10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
be warned, O rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son,
lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
for his wrath is quickly kindled.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
Paul in Acts 17, saw many idols in Athens, one to the unknown God, when we see these idols, we must uplift the name of Our God, the one true and living Saviour, because all other so called gods, have ears but they do not hear, they cant and wont help anyone.
A needy world, needs to hear that Christ is the answer, and not some worthless idol.
God bless you
