God Is Here - Let's Celebrate! - Psalm 145 - Psalms Now

"God is here - let's celebrate!
Let us enlist our lives in perpetual celebration
over God's goodness and greatness.
Let us announce to the world God's presence
and proclaim His loving concern for all men.

How compassionate He is over all He has created,
how tender toward His failure-fraught creatures!
He will not cop out on His promises to us.
His blessings are not reserved only for those
who fit obediently into His design for them.
He is just - and He is forgiving.
He gently picks up those who have fallen
and restores them to sonship and servanthood.
He sustains those who are wavering in weakness
and grants them His grace and strength.
He reaches into the void of empty lives
and enriches and fulfills their hungry hearts.
He is near enough to hear our every cry,
to sense our every need,
to grant us whatever is necessary
to make us happy and productive
as we seek to follow and to serve Him.
How incomparably glorious is our great God!
May our mouths articulate and our lives demonstrate
His ever-present love for all His creatures.
Let us celebrate
the eternal mercy and goodness of our God."

- Leslie Brandt, "Psalms Now"
