Read Psalm 147:12-20
12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!
13 He keeps your gates
strong;
he blesses your people.
14 He keeps your
borders safe
and satisfies you with the finest wheat.
15 He gives a command
to the earth,
and what he says is quickly done.
16 He spreads snow like
a blanket
and scatters frost like dust.
17 He sends hail like
gravel;
no one can endure the cold he sends!
18 Then he gives a
command, and the ice melts;
he sends the wind, and the water flows.
19 He gives his message
to his people,
his instructions and laws to Israel.
20 He has not done this
for other nations;
they do not know his laws.
Praise the Lord!

Think
This Psalm remembers the power and majesty of God – what he
creates, the measure of his authority and the blessings he pours out. Then at the end – it reflects on the
privilege of hearing from this God. “He
gives his message to his people…” (Vs 19).
Pray
Lord, help me to appreciate the privilege of hearing your
word and knowing who you are. Let me
listen more carefully and gain more wisdom.
