“Blessed are the people to whom such blessings fall!
Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!”
– Psalm 144:15
Everyone has a god. Everyone worships something. We were made to worship and we all do. Everyone has something that reigns supreme in their heart. Sometimes people recognize this and sometimes people are completely blind to it. Sometimes people think their god is one thing, but it’s really something else that dominates their thoughts and lives.
Some call their god by the name central to their faith. Some claim they believe in no god, calling that which rules their hearts names like reason, self, independence, science, morality, ethics, money, fame, sex, status, pleasure, or power. Everyone has a god. Many of those gods are cruel, terrible, exhausting, and disappointing. Blessed are those whose God is the Lord.
Blessed are those whose God is YHWH, Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He is the Creator of the Universe. He is supreme in knowledge, wisdom, and power. He is ever-present, all good, and perfectly holy, righteous, and just. He is merciful and gracious, patient, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. He rules the universe and counts the hairs on each head. He loves you and desires to be in a meaningful relationship with you. He made such a relationship possible through faith in His Son Jesus. Believe in Him and enjoy the blessings of having the Lord be your God.
