Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow
There is a central theme in all the readings for
this week. All of them praise God for His promise to His people. We begin with
2 Samuel 7:1-11, 16. David wants to build God a temple, but He prefers the
tent. Then David praises God for His promise to his dynasty. In Luke 1:46-55,
Mary praises God for His promise of generation after generation of David's
dynasty. In Psalm 89:1-4, 19-26, God is again praised for making a solemn
promise to David. In Romans 16:25-27, Paul sings the praises of God so that the
people around the world will have faith. Finally, in Luke 1:26-38, Gabriel tells
Mary that her baby Jesus shall be called the son of God, and the Lord shall give
him the throne of his ancestor David.
It is the month of Christmas in the year 2011 but we can still see that God had plans for the future even in the time of David. His son was to be in the line of King David, and we still praise God for His promise. He promised that He would die for our sins, and He knew it early in His life here on earth. This baby that Mary totally accepted was the promise of God, and she felt honored to be chosen.
Let us Praise God:
Dear heavenly father, we sing your praises for your promises. Your blessings flow to us as your children. You lived on this earth to die on the cross for our sins. Your resurrection is the promise to us that there is life after death where we can meet our mothers, fathers, and other loved ones. We praise you for your promise to David long ago. We sing your praises for your blessings as they flow over us. Amen
