Psalm 146

Unlimited God vs. Limited Man

As I was reading through this Psalm I couldn't help but notice how the Psalmist captures the magnitude of God's greatness.  He recognizes God as Creator and Redeemer, with the ability  to feed people and set prisoners free. Not one person on their own has the ability do that. By His design, we are limited. Perhaps the Palmists was given a vision of The Messiah.  Fast forward into Ephesians 6 and we see Paul recognizes God's power in raising The Messiah from the dead, and makes it very clear that He is far above any ruler, authority, power, leader, not only in this world, but in the Olam ha-zeh, and in the Olam ha-ba.  Translated from the original Hebrew that means this world, and the world to come.  Everything is under His feet.  If we look at our lives, our issues, or our circumstances,  and place our trust any where else aside from Adonai, it is easy to see how one might lose hope.  "Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob whose hope is in the Lord his God" (v.5).  The Psalm points to the eternal kingship of the unlimited God. So as we all get ready to face the day with all the issues that await us, our challenge remains, where will we place our hope?  My memory verse for the day is "The Lord reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations" (v.10)  I pray for all of us that the eyes of our our hearts may be enlightened, so that we may know what is the hope of His calling, what is the richness of His glorious inheritance in the Kedoshim, (the saints...that's us), and what is His exceedingly great power toward us who keep trusting Him (Eph. 1:18-19)
