The Greatness of God

Psalm 48 starts by simply stating that the Lord is great and deserves all of our praise.

Even the city of God, Jerusalem, displayed the awesomeness that is the Lord.  Whenever the enemies of Israel advanced upon the city, they were stunned by it and ran away in terror.

God's glory destroyed advancing ships like a powerful wind.

Verse 9 is interesting it states that we should meditate upon your unfailing love as we worship in God's Temple.  Meditation is seen as a long moment of silence.  Our bodies may be silent but our mind is racing with thoughts of praise and love.

The author of the psalm tells all to walk around and inspect all of the towers of Jerusalem.  Then, we are to pass along its awesomeness to future generations.  This is what we should be doing about God's perfect love: pass His message to others as the Lord guides us forever and ever.

Amen.
