“Truth for Truckers” *May 18, 2014* Psalm 108 “Song
of the Warrior”
David, the Warrior King and the master of
praising the Lord gives us his formula in the following order:
1. O God, my
heart is fixed
2. I will sing
and give praise even my glory
3. Awake,
psaltery and harp
4. I myself will
awake early
5. I will praise
Thee, O LORD
6. I will sing
praises unto Thee among the nations
7. For Thy
mercy is great above the heavens
8. And Thy truth
reaches unto the clouds
9. Be Thou
exalted above the heavens
10. And Thy glory
above all the earth
All of these elements of praise in (v.1-5)
go before his requests: “That Thy beloved
may be delivered: save with Thy right hand, and answer me.” (v.6) At this
point some may think that we are overdoing the subject of praising the Lord.
But, let me remind you, first of all, of the greatness of our God. He is a God
that hears and answers the prayers of millions of Believers simultaneously,
with precision and precise timing. He is able to do exceeding abundantly above
all that we ask or think according to the power that works within us, which
power He has put within each one of His children! This is the God of gods who
is able to abase the proud and bring them to their knees causing many to cry
out to Him for mercy!
My God is the same God of Israel Who at
one time when the Temple stood on Mt. Zion was continually praised 24-7 by
singers who were there day and night singing His praises with instruments of
music giving Him a grand and glorious aura here on earth. Today, this is not
occurring. He is counting on His people, the born-again Christians to give Him
the praise and glory He deserves because of the transformed lives, the
blessings of His supply, the comfort given by His indwelling Holy Spirit in
times of trouble etc. etc. etc. We, Drivers, must praise and glorify His
precious Name!
