145:1-3 We should make these spiritual proclamations to God in our lives too:
I will extol you, my God, my King
I will bless Your name forever and ever
Every day I will praise
And we make these proclamations because God is great to us, and a beautiful spirit. His compassion and wisdom, and power is boundless. God's love for us is without limits, and therefore so should our praise be.
145:4-7 We should carry His name to our prosperity so that His glory is acknowledged on the earth at all times. We should carry on this scripture so that generations of people know they can access a bounty of love and compassion through a relationship with God. We should make a commitment to sing and praise and speak in honor of our beautiful, good, righteous God.
145:8-9 God is our Creator, Father, Friend, Counselor, Leader, Love who is full of compassion, mercy and forgiveness. He is generous with every good quality He has. He is tender and active in our day-to-day lives.
145:10-13 All of creation is grateful to its Creator. In Luke 19:39-40 Jesus explained that if the disciples were silent, the rocks would cry out in praise of God. It is the natural inclination of righteous souls to love Him. So we speak of His power as He moves mountains in our lives. Since His kingdom is everlasting, so our praise of Him will be.
145:14-16 One of the most special things about our God is that he cares for the weak and lowly. He loves to raise up, heal and support His children. He loves when we love Him like children, Matthew 18:3. He loves when we look expectantly to Him. When we trust Him so much that when in doubt, awe, love, trust or any other circumstance or emotion, we look to Him for answers. For confirmation. For encouragement. For the go or no.
We benefit so much from being entirely dependent on God. He is our provider and the more we we trust Him to provide, the better supplied and sustained we are in life and spirit. We should go, always, to the storehouses provided by our Father and faith. He knows best what we need and He is best able to provide it.
145:17-21 God is righteous in all ways. Gracious in all works. Near to all who ask Him to be. When faith is authentic, we can count on God's presence. He hears and answers and saves. He preserves. And the wicked He brings to an end. He protects us by planning their their destruction.
He cares about our prayers and is happy to fulfill them. He does fulfill them. He heals us and preserves us out of not just love but skill. So we praise our holy Lord forever and ever.
