Psalms also tells us quite often that God is the Crator of everything. There was no Big Bang or slow evolution of animals into people, but there was simply God's word calling everything into existence. Having created everything, God is still at work sustaining His creation. God is so knowledgeable of the universe that He knows the stars by name. We may look around us and be impressed or maybe even intimidated by the armies of some countries, but armies don't impress God. There is no power that can stand against God. God protects His people, those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord, spiritually, and He expects us to give Him the praise and credit throughout this lifetime and our everlasting life as well. No force in the world can ever separate us from God's love, but our own rejection of His gift of salvation can. Psalms tells us that we are to praise God for Who He is, what He has done for us, what He continues to do for us, and what He will do for us in the future. God chose the people of Israel to be His people, as He chooses everyone who puts their faith in Jesus Christ today. God chose, delivered, and protected the people Israel, but not all of them put their faith in Him. God calls everyone to salvation, but not all accept His free gift of salvation. If we have accepted God's gift of salvation, we should praise Him everyday. Next we will look at the book of Luke.
