Psalm 111
The Constancy of God
There is something so soothing about psalms like Psalm 111. It reminds me of the verse of Robert Browning:
"God's in his Heaven
All's right with the world"
To ponder God's deeds, to know that everything He does is consistent and a part of His eternal unfolding plan, gives me a great sense of peace and confidence. Verse 4 notes that:
"He causes us to remember His wonderful works."
Even in bringing His goodness to our minds, He is so faithful. It reminds me also of Matthew 22 and the way he sent servants out to remind the wedding guests that the wedding feast was ready to begin. Not only will He not harm us, He is actively pursuing us for good even when we are oblivious or hostile to His loving intentions. What a God! What a blessing! even when we are oblivious or even hostile to His designs. What a God! What a blessing!
Good comment and turn of phrase from the Believer's Bible Commentary:
"Only the man who reverences Him has started on the road to wisdom. The more we obey Him, the more light He gives us. "Obedience is the organ of spiritual knowledge."
