GLORY BE TO GOD! PRAISE THE LORD! THE LORD IS EXALTED! WHO IS LIKE OUR GOD? I love this psalm because it begins with a beautiful picture of our God, a God who is praised all over the world. He is God of the universe, powerful, magnificent, glorious, and above all! No one is like Him. No one can compare to him. Nothing is better, higher, or stronger. He is GOD. The last third of the psalm, though, puts the picture into a different perspective. Many gods claim the credentials of the first two thirds (power, glory, and magnificence). However, our God is above them because He is not just God, but he is a personal God. He is over us, but his eyes never leave us. And not just the powerful among us! He sees the poor, those in the dust and ashes, the shamed. He doesn't just see them either -- he helps them! He helps us! The incomparable, beautiful, wonderful God of the entire universe, of the physical and spiritual world, loves us enough to see us, hear us, and give us his hand. PRAISE THE LORD!
