Blessed Be the Lord

Blessed is our God, who saved us from the penalty of sin and has given us true freedom from iniquity through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ. Blessed are we to know salvation; blessed are we to know that we will one day live and reign with Christ forever.

Blessed be the Lord,
who daily bears us up;
God is our salvation. Selah
Our God is a God of salvation,
and to GOD, the Lord, belong deliverances from death.

(Psalms 68:19-20)

Who set the boundaries of the sky, separating it day from night? Who says to the waves, “To this shore and no further shall you go?” Who brought life to this world, raising the branches of the trees in worship to its Creator?

Who made the whale to drift back and forth in the ocean, proclaiming God’s glory? Who lifted the wings of the eagle, for it to waft along the mountains, honoring Him who gave it life? Who set the lion on the jungle’s throne to reign as a witness to its Maker’s majesty?

Only our God can raise and lower mountains by His Word. Only our God can give rain in due season. Only our God can purge the wicked from this world. Only our God can give and take life. Blessed be the Lord.

  1. I especially liked the sentence about purging the wicked from this world. One day…. Hopefully all will come to salvation before that happens. Thank you, Jack Flacco. Very uplifting message, as always. Sue Smith
