King David gives us a wonderful word in Psalm 145. In a heart-felt prayer he says to God, “I will bless Your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You, and I will praise Your name forever and ever” (vs. 2-3).

Don’t you want to get in on this wonderful celebration? How can we not celebrate our God when “His greatness is unsearchable” (vs. 3)? He is worthy to be praised and so David declares, “Men shall speak of the power of Your awesome acts, and I will tell of Your greatness”( vs. 6).

God is so good. He is “gracious and merciful; slow to anger and great in lovingkindness” (vs. 8). Now we have the wonderful pleasure and privilege of living out the meaning of God’s greatness in the world that has been assigned to us. We get to live for God. Who would have thought it? We get to live for God.

We get to tell the story of Jesus to our generation. We are privileged to be one generation in an unbroken succession of generations that praises the works of God to the generation coming up behind us (vs. 4). We have the awesome privilege of speaking about the glory and power of God’s kingdom (vs. 11).

I want to be a part of that people who live out the Faith with clarity and attraction. God is too good to do anything other than this. Go out this week and make God look good because HE IS GOOD.
