They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness,
And shall sing of Your righteousness. Psalm 145:7
It's Thursday of the week and we are about to undergo a big change at the office. Yes, I am taking over in a move guaranteed to bring shock and awe to our little town. Right, the boss is going on vacation tomorrow. Ah well, everything can be dramatized a little bit. A bit of spice added to the otherwise routine life in the small town brings attention where none belongs, eh?
David wrote many psalms and he was not given to dramatizing anything. He sung it as it was and called out to the Lord who always will be. When David sings of the Lord there is no dramatizing, melodrama, or over-dramatizing, just a lot of praise to our great God. How could he anyway? Everything we say about the Lord our God seems to fall just a little short or spread a little thin. We have an idea of righteousness, but do we really get how righteous our Lord is? He is of course the very definition and standard of the word. Love? Do we fully understand the breadth and depth of the love our Lord bears for us? As our friend Paul said, we see now only darkly, as in a poor mirror or a dirty telescope. One day though, God's goodness will bring us all home to be with Him forever. And it is there the reborn fallen in a multitude too great to count will recall God's great goodness and sing of His righteousness with full understanding.
Have a righteous Thursday, beloved of the Lord!
