Psalms 135:13

Psalms 135:13 says, Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.  What the psalmist said then is just as true today.  The name of the LORD endures forever.  God being a memorial forever seems to refer to Exodus 3:15 where He refers to Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and adds, This is My name forever and this is my memorial to all generations.  Verse fourteen adds, For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.  God will one-day judge all His people, who are those who have been saved by putting their faith in Jesus Christ.  Verse fifteen states, The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.  The heathen, those who do not believe in God, make idols of silver and gold.  We still see them today.  Of course,  I believe an idol does not have to be shaped like some creature or man, but can be material things themself.  Verse sixteen adds, They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;  Verse seventeen continues, They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.  Of course, this refers to those man-made idols that look like they can speak, see, and hear, but have no breath of life in them.  No matter how realistic idols may be made, they are still but inanimate objects.  There is but one true and living God.  Verse eighteen concludes, They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.  The psalmist declared those that made these idols to be just as unable to speak, see and hear the truth of God.  Until we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, we are just as dead spiritually as any idol that we worship.  Verse nineteen declares, Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:  Verse twenty adds, Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.  Then verse twenty-one concludes, Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.  All of God's people were called on to bless the LORD, and we must do the same today as Christians.  We must put aside all idols that may come into our lives and worship God alone.
