Glorify the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! For he has strengthened the bars of your gates and blessed your children within your walls. He sends peace across your nation and satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat. He sends his orders to the world -- how swiftly his word flies! Psalm 147: 12-14 NLT
What has God done for the psalmist?
God has strengthened the gates of the city to protect the people within. God has blessed all the children within the city walls. God has made sure that the people throughout the nation are living in peace. God has provided not just enough to eat but the finest foods. God has send God’s orders all around the world and how quickly the nations have heard from God.
What has God done for me?
God has answered my prayers -- specifically, God took away my anger when it felt like it would overwhelm me. God has turned what seemed like a bad thing into something good -- what was a shameful secret is now in the open. God has provided for our family in terms of what we need. God has provided a loving family, friends and church members to support us and journey with us. God is so good!
Now it is your turn. What has God done for you?
God, I glorify you and praise your name! Amen!
