Have you begun to notice a pattern in the Psalms? As we continue to read we see that Psalms grouped together often share some common themes. In today's reading we find a very clear theme of lifting up our voice to praise the Lord. Over and over we see the psalmist praising the Lord. But notice why. Often the psalmist cites Gods eternal mercy as the reason for such a high praise.
This is the point of what it all. We worship and praise a matchless God who overflows with eternal mercy: The mercy of God is the very foundation of our salvation (c.f. Romans 9). Just consider some of these verses captured in the Psalms:Who is heaven is like our God? There is no other god who is rich in mercy like our God is.
"For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us... The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;" (Psalm 103:11-12 & 17).
I pray you will reflect on the infinite mercy God has shown you in salvation. Can you praise him today?
