Key Verse: Verse 31 - “The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.”
Key Words: The glory of the LORD shall endure forever
"The glory of the Lord shall endure forever. The Lord shall rejoice in His works"; or, as some have rendered that last statement: "Let Jehovah rejoice in His works." It is a bold statement. The psalmist is so impressed with the astonishing wonders of creation that he actually calls upon God to rejoice in what He Himself had done! He is carried away. It is almost as though he is afraid God might be robbed of some of the glory which is His due. The psalmist, soaring on the wings of his emotions, borne on the pinions of the vastness of nature, urges God to take delight in that which has awed and delighted him! God's Sabbath rest has been broken; we live in a fallen world, the mark and taint of sin everywhere, but it is still a marvelous, wonderful world.
Years ago I had an accident and doctors told me I would never walk again. Each morning I would crawl out of bed, open my window and listen to the birds sing. I would think, "These birds have no place for shelter, no promise of food; they are hunted as prey." I would gaze at the trees and flowers, the sun and the clouds, and realize that if God can create this...if He so chooses, He can have me walk again...and so He did. There is indeed nothing impossible with God (Luke 1:37).
What to do:
✞ Turn your eyes upon Jesus; look full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.
