When I read this Psalm, I can't help but to think that God gives the people of this time a glimpse of what to come. It was like opening a present the day before Christmas. You know the feeling? You wake up early in the morning and immediately rush into your parents room to wake them up. You begged them to let you open one present then become more escatic when you get exactly what you wanted. Often we take this feeling for granted, and we forget the scarfice that our parents made to get present. God is our Heavenly Father, and He made the biggest scarfice of all. God sent His Son down to Earth to live a perfect life and then died on the Cross for our sin. Verse nine expresses what God did for you and me:
" He provided redemption for His people;
He ordained His covenant forever-
Holy and awesome is His name."
God kept His promise to His people through His Son, Jesus! Amen!
Psalm 111
" Praise the Lord.[b]
2 Great are the works(E) of the Lord;
they are pondered by all(F) who delight in them.
3 Glorious and majestic are his deeds,
and his righteousness endures(G) forever.
4 He has caused his wonders to be remembered;
the Lord is gracious and compassionate.(H)
5 He provides food(I) for those who fear him;(J)
he remembers his covenant(K) forever.
