Psalm 59:17 says, in part, “I will sing of thy power.” Addressing the Lord, of course.
No real Christian doubts the fact of God’s Power! Jesus said: “ALL POWER is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” Matthew 28:18
Why, just think of the Power of God involved in creating the universe, in six days at that!
Think of the Power of God utilized in parting the Red Sea! Or tumbling the walls of Jericho! Or overruling the weather, its normal patterns! (Winds and waves and clouds and rain!)
Think of the Power of God on display the Day Jesus died! The Darkness at Noon! The torn Temple Veil! The earthquake! The opened graves!
And the bodily Resurrection of our Saviour three days later!
Think of the Power of God yet to be displayed to this unbelieving world! The Rapture! The miracles of the Tribulation, mostly judgments long delayed upon Planet Earth!
Awesome!
Now … back to Psalm 59:16 … “But I will sing of thy power.”
Not just study it.
Not just believe it.
Not just admire it.
But SING of it!
Recently I heard a family singing these words …
“I sing the mighty pow’r of God, that made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad, and built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at His command, and all the stars obey.”
Just one verse of that great Hymn by Isaac Watts!
Folks, that’s singing of God’s Power!
Or this song …
“Would you be free from the burden of sin?
There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Would you o’er evil a victory win?
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood. “
Amen!
Or even …
“Oh Lord, my God
When I, in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayedThen sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art.”
Yes!
Psalm 21:13 recaps my hedart this morning.
“Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.”
Wow!
Can YOU think of a song, a hymn, that magnifies and glorifies His POWER?
If so, sing it!
