Hey, good morning again, this is pastor mark and I hadn't really thought about a name for the morning devotion other than you know, just daily devotional But I was thinking just a second ago. Maybe it's good morning with mark or something like that let me encourage you if you follow it on a podcast to rate review and Subscribe to the podcast there. It's on you can find it on sermon audio or your pod catcher. So I anyway to do that and and you know i kind of like to know who's watching just to see if anyone is watching i know that first podcast got over 100 views and the last few i haven't seen as many so i don't really know who's watching and i know that it's not the a great broadcast or great quality or anything. But, um, if you are watching and you'd like for me to continue, kind of let me know. I know one in particular is watching, but, uh, anyway, we, we are enjoying this. It's, it's keeping me on my toes. Um, but we're glad to be able to come to you and share with something, use something in the morning, uh, to get your day started off right. And as we go through this and continue with this daily devotion podcast, there will be days when. There's not a lot of content, maybe other than just to read some scripture and share some thoughts. And, um, so for the next few days, I think I'm going to just read Psalm 145 and, and share some, uh, thoughts with you from that today. I'm going to read verses one through four of Psalm 145. And really that's what a devotional is about is about reading us a few scriptures. um, making a few comments and then having a word of prayer just to get our day focused on the Lord. And so, uh, that's what we're going to do. Also, I'm thinking about time. I've been 11 to 13 minutes and that might be a little bit long. If you think it's a little bit long, you know, give me a comment on Facebook or Twitter, or let me know what you think about the timing. If it is too short, too long, just about right. So just, just let me know. Since you are listening every day, um, I, you know, I just let me know about the timing. Okay. I know most podcasts are about 20 minutes, but those are once a week podcast. I know someone who does a daily podcast. He was about six or seven minutes. So just kind of let me know what you think about that. So one 45 David saw my praise. I will extol thee my God, O King, and I will bless thy name forever and ever. Every day while I bless thee and I will praise thy name forever and ever. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. Okay, so this says this is the psalmist praise, David's psalm of praise. So he is praising God, and this morning I want you to think about this. There are many reasons why we should praise God. David is saying that I'm extolling or lifting God up And he's lifting him high because God is his king And every day I will bless thee and praise thy name. So Think of this today as you begin your day Think about all the reasons that you have to praise God. Maybe maybe it's just that he saved you or maybe that he has revealed to you that he is God or Maybe you want to thank him for some special blessing you received in your family or I don't know. But if you think about this, if you would begin your day every day, blessing God. Begin your day. Today, why am I going to bless God? What do I have? What attribute of God or what is there about God that I can bless Him? If you can bless God and praise His name every day, then you'll begin your day thinking positive thoughts and you'll begin thinking about God and not thinking about your circumstances or maybe your difficulties that you're facing in life. So begin your day today thinking about God and praising God and blessing his name. You see, when we stop to consider God and the greatness of God, and who God is, we will understand that he is exactly that. He is great. It tells us here in verse three that his greatness is unsearchable. And we can think about some ways that we could describe the greatness of God. If we just thought of, there are three what are called omni-attributes, omnipresence, omniscience and omnipotent and maybe you don't know what those are. So I'll take just a smidgen about a time amount of time to explain those this morning, but he is omnipotent, which means the omni means all. So he is all powerful. That means there's nothing too hard for God. There's nothing that he can't accomplish. That he has the power to do anything. He spoke this world into existence Ex Nilo from nothing That's the way he built this world. He created this world from nothing That's actually what creation means out of nothing. He created this world So if he has the power to create this world out of nothing, then he has all power so you can praise God for his greatness because he is all-powerful his omniscient means he knows all things that means a lot of things he knows all things that has happened he knows all things that will happen he knows our thoughts before we think them he knows what's in the deepest uh recesses of our heart so that can be good or that can be bad there's sometimes that i'm glad that god knows what's on the deepest recesses of my heart because sometimes when i'm not Dude, I don't, I'm not perfect. There's times that, that God really knows my motives and my desires, even though I don't always do things the right way. So he's omniscient and he's omnipresent. He's in all places at all times. So, um, we can never get away from God. Um, that means that there's never a time that we're going to be out of his presence, which means that, um, no matter where, well, I'll just tell you this. When my daughter went to Ecuador a couple of years ago now, You know, I was like, Lord, I, I can't be with her in Ecuador, but you know what? I know you're there. And as she now lives in Washington, DC, well, Arlington, Virginia and works in Washington, DC, you know, center up there by herself. Um, you know, Lord, I can't be there to protect her, but I know you're there and, uh, I know that you can. So knowing that God, God is omniscient, he's great. Um, and so, uh, We think about this and we know that God is the only one that has these attributes. And so we know that because of that, that he is great. Then we can think about all the implications of these three attributes. And of course he has many more attributes, but you know, we'll get into that maybe at a later time. But what we understand is that he is great. Also his greatness is unsearchable. If we would try to take with our finite minds and explain the greatness of God, we can never completely do it. But also I think that means that if we think we have the greatness of God figured out, we really don't. There's more to God than what we realize. He is beyond our explanation for our finite minds. And so we can't explain all there is to know about God. So he is unsearchable. Also, verse number four says, it says, one generation shall praise thy works to another and shall declare thy mighty acts. So one generation is to explain the works of God to the next generation. So today, tell others about the greatness of God. Tell of his works. Let others know of God's greatness. Also, one generation is to tell the next generation. That means you're to let your children know about the greatness of God. So today, understand the greatness of God, the blessings he gives, share that greatness with others through praising God, and make sure that you let that nation, or that next generation, meaning your children, make sure you let them know about the greatness of God too. And this is one of the reasons we want to learn more about God, so we have more reasons to share the greatness of God with our loved ones. So today, Lord, we come to you in prayer and we pray that you will help us to see your hand in our lives. Help us to see your greatness. Help us to think of all the reasons that we have to praise you. Open our eyes to see your wondrous works. Fill our hearts so we will bless you today and forever. Focus our hearts today on you and your greatness and your goodness to us and help us to recognize your blessings to us. So we understand what a blessing it is to be your child. Bless your people today, we pray. In the name of your son, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen. Have a good day today. Goodbye.
