Psalms Streak: A Daily Devotional in the PsalmsSample

My King

Psalm 40:5 - “Many, O Lord my God are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.”

Have you ever stopped to consider the vastness of God? The depth of His character and love for you or the power of His voice that spoke creation into being or mastered its elements with a single command? How would you describe Him to someone who hasn't heard of Him? David tried to do that in Psalm 40. He recounted how God rescued him and the song that was bursting out of him because of it.

Shadrach Meshach Lockridge, a prominent African-American pastor gave a 6 1/2-minute description of Jesus in his message titled "That's My King!" which can be found on multiple sites including YouTube, Google Videos, and other video sharing sites.

GO DEEP: Listen to Dr. S.M. Lockridge's description of our King and then go ahead and make your own list of all of the ways you would describe God and the wonders you've experienced! Then, like David, go and proclaim (vs.9), do not hide or conceal but speak of His faithfulness and salvation (v.10)

BE BOLD: Who needs to hear this? Who could you share it with?
