Read Psalm 33.
Shouting, praising, giving thanks by playing instruments and
singing! Why? What brought on this exuberance?
The answer is so simple to some of us that we may miss
it. We can easily take for granted the
daily evidences of God's presence and power.
Not David. He wrote this song for
the entire nation to sing so they would not overlook and never forget the
goodness of God.
1. The word of the LORD is right. (v.4a)
When God speaks, it is correct and without error. Many who reject God's word have never read it
for themselves. Those who have read it
and reject it want inexplicably to continue in going their own perilous way. Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, to whom
shall we go? You have the words of
eternal life." (John 6:67)
2. The work of the LORD is faithful. (v.4b)
He is trustworthy.
What He says He will do. What He
commands will be done. Exhibit A in this
Psalm is the creation of the heavens and the earth. It was accomplished at His spoken word, by
"the breath of his mouth". All
these things were brought forth instantaneously with His voice.
3. The watch of the LORD is personal. (vv.13-15, 19)
He sees. He
looks. He "fashions the
hearts" "and observes all their deeds." Why is the God of the universe paying such
close attention to us? So that He may
"deliver" and "keep" us.
With that kind of attention and care from Almighty God, we
should be audibly rejoicing all day, everyday.
