09/19/20 THE GREATNESS OF OUR GOD #10 — Psalm 144:15 (CSB) says, “Happy are the people with such blessings. Happy are the people whose God is the Lord.” The Subtitle of Psalm 144 is “Praising the GREATNESS of God.”

The beginning of this psalm reminds me of Psalm 18; perhaps the circumstances are similar. There David declares that God has delivered him from all his enemies, including King Saul. Here he first describes his GREAT WARRIOR GOD, Who Destroys ALL his Enemies and in Whom David finds Safety and Takes Refuge. Then he compares humanity’s mortality to God’s IMMORTALITY. He envisions the contentment, prosperity and blessings of God’s people that accompany the Lord’s Great Victories.

The Hebrew word here translated “Happy” is more often translated “Blessed,” especially in the KJV. For those of us who know and trust God, there can be no more true happiness than to experience the Rich Blessings of our GREAT GOD.
