Psalm 115
-Theme: The
temporal verses the eternal. Idols of man compared to the greatness of the
LORD. The LORD’s blessing on those who fear Him and trust in Him. Prioritizing
God as number one.
-Historical Insight: This is an anonymous Psalm of God’s
glory among men and His eternal benefits to His people.
-*Application* God deserves the glory, and we should be
quick to give Him His due with all credit and praise. His lovingkindness and
truth put His enemies to rest with overwhelming power and authority because of
His authenticity. The idolatrous works of man’s hands have no life and cannot
save in the end. Only those who trust in the LORD will find help and a shield
against the adversary. When we fear the LORD and trust fully in Him, He will
bless us and be totally mindful of our needs. In other words, He will care for
us, not just now, but for eternity. We, as God’s people will bless and praise
the LORD “from this time forth and forever (Psalm 115:18).” It doesn’t matter
if you’re small or great in this world, the opportunity to join His everlasting
Kingdom is always available (Psalm 115:13). He will give us increase, which
will extend into future generations (Psalm 115:14). The Maker of heaven and
earth will be magnified, but those who reject Him will die and go down into
silence where they have no way to praise Him (Psalm 115:17). This is Old
Testament biblical proof of what we call hell, or a place of separation eternally
from the Father.
Verse to Memorize:
