Scripture Snippet - Psalm 117

Scripture Snippet - Psalm 117
This Scripture snippet is of one of the shortest Psalms.  This Psalm is simple, to the point and beautiful.  I am going to try to commit it to memory so that I can say it often.

"O Praise the Lord, all ye nations: Praise Him, all ye people.  For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth forever.  Praise ye the Lord." - Psalm 117

My thoughts and feelings:
  • Praise the Lord for his mercy and truth.  Give thanks for the goodness of God.  Marvel in His eternal greatness.  Benefit from His mercy and ultimate forgiveness. 
  • Look forward to the day of judgment when the Lord, a fair and righteous judge will look at you and in you.  We will be given the chance to truly see ourselves as He sees us.  I hope I like what I see.

What we can learn from this passage:
  • Heavenly Father's mercy, patience and forgiveness are never-ending.  As many times as we require forgiveness, He will forgive.  As many times as we require 'second chances' they will be awarded us.
