Digging Deep

Text: Psalm 117

Introduction

Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter in the Bible and yet it contains all the truths that a Christian should know. It enjoins you to praise God because God is merciful, kind, gracious and true. We shall look into this beautiful psalm tonight and we believe that God will bless us richly as we do so in Jesus name. Amen.

1. OUR GOD IS UNIVERSALLY GOOD

The goodness of our God is for all the earth. Those who have tasted Him have found Him to be very good. He is not only good when all is well, but He is good also in the time of trouble. He is a good Friend in the time of need. Our success in life depends on His goodness and mercy. Ps. 33:5; Ps. 34:8; Nah.  1-!7; I Tim. 1:12; II Cor.  12:9; II Tim. 2:1; Rom. 9:16; Tit. 3:5.

2. PRAISE THE LORD: HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED

We have a lot to thank God for. For our salvation, for the forgiveness of our sins, that we are still alive today, that He is a  dependable  Rock, perfect  and  true,  and  that  His mercy endureth forever are  just a few of the reasons why we should constantly praise Him. Col. 1:12; Mic. 7:18;  Lam. 3:22·23; Deut. 32:4;  Ps. 108:4;  Rev. 11:17;  I Thes. 5:18; Ps. 22:23; Rev. 19:5; Ps.103:17.
