Psalm 103:12-22 “As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. Like a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him. For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust. As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more. But the LORD’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children, to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts. The LORD has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all. Praise the LORD, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfil his word, obeying the voice of his word. Praise the LORD, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure. Praise the LORD, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise the LORD, my soul!”

Our creation (literally from “dust”) and our mortality (we will die), as well as our unrememberable nature, don’t matter to God. He is the King, and He knows our weaknesses and is willing to forgive them and have compassion on us! We, however, have a part to play. We have to acknowledge Him, obey Him, fear Him, and praise Him. In fact, we should not only praise Him ourselves, but we should also call on the rest of creation to join us in our song!

Revelations 19:5-6 “A voice came from the throne, saying, ‘Give praise to our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, the small and the great!’ I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunders, saying, ‘Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns!’ “

Did you catch what it said about angels? They are His ministering spirits, but they actually have a role to play in our lives as well!

Hebrews 1:14 “Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?”
