Psalm 113
-Theme: The
massive scope of God’s concern and care for us. The LORD’s great humility to
behold His creation.
-Historical Insight: This is a short and powerful Psalm that
is anonymous in authorship.
-*Application* How often do you simply set aside time to
praise the LORD as His servant? Today, take time to bless the God of Heaven and
earth with your exultation of His glory knowing that this can and will be done
forever by His saints. He is high above the nations, not just above, HIGH
above. His glory is even above the heavens. Think about the incredible images
from the Hubbell telescope and wonder just how amazing our God is enthroned
above all of that splendor. He is tops! No one is like Him, yet He humbles (shaphel- to humiliate, to be abased, to
become low, sink) Himself to behold (ra’ah-
to see, look at, inspect, perceive, consider) all the things He created in
Heaven and in the earth (Psalm 113:6). Our God is so wonderful, amazing,
gracious, giving, and so much more all at the same time. He cares for us and
considers the mess that we’ve made by succumbing to temptation and drifting
away from Him. This is what causes our poverty and misery. We need help, a
Rescuer, a Deliverer, and Jesus is that lowly-humble aid in our desperate
situation (Isaiah 53, 1 Peter 3:18). He brings joy and life back to the table,
and even gives His Spirit as the seal and promise of our comfort and security (Song
of Solomon 8:6, John 4:16-27, 2 Corinthians 1:22, Ephesians 1:13, 1 John 4:13).
