Handout: Psalm 146: Praise God With Every Breath
Summary:
After some comments on the Flame of Love devotion, our study of Psalm 146 starts with the psalmist's exuberant burst of praise which we explore in two directions, viz., in liturgy as the eternal loving work of God's people and the need to make use of the time we have on Earth according to Paul's admonition to "redeem the time." The latter led to a lengthy discussion about why our spiritual lives seem to become more arduous as we grow close to God.
We go on to examine the psalmist's comparison of relying upon man to relying upon God and dwell on how God is not only all powerful and eternal but faithful.
