Psalm 145 Speaks of Who God Is

by Hallie Gipson

As I was meditating on this particular Psalm recently, I began jotting down what this Psalm says about who God is. The more I read, the longer the list became, and it is in no way an exhaustive list. In fact, I can never know or understand all there is to know about God. My mind is so finite that I can’t possibly comprehend the depths of the triune God. BUT, I do have His beautiful Word that speaks of who He is from beginning to end.

I would encourage you to get your Bible and turn to Psalm 145 and read the Psalm as you read the list. Your translation may differ slightly, but no matter the translation the message is clear – our God is great and good!

GOD:

King
Great
Highly to be praised
Has unsearchable greatness
Worker of mighty acts
Majestic
Does wonderful works
Does awesome acts in power
Abundant in goodness
Righteous
Gracious
Merciful
Slow to anger
Great in lovingkindness
Good to all
Merciful over all His works
His Kingdom is glorious and everlasting
Sustains those who fall
Raises up the bowed down
Gives food
Satisfies desires (fulfills)
Kind in His deeds
Near to those who call on Him in truth
Hears
Saves
Keeps
Destroys the wicked
Has a holy name
IS HOLY

You are indeed great and highly to be praised, Father! What a comfort to know that you are beyond our comprehension and Your greatness is without end. Grant us spiritual eyes and ears to see more of You
as we feast on the richness of Your Word! Amen.

About Me

Hallie Gipson

The responsibility to write while displaying the truth of His Word is never to be taken lightly. It is always my goal to speak only His truth and to encourage others through His Word and His faithfulness.

As I think back over my journey with the Lord, His faithfulness, grace, and mercy astound me! The salvation I have through Jesus Christ is ALL God’s work. There is nothing about God’s saving grace that I will ever merit. He gave the ultimate sacrifice of His Son to purchase my pardon.

2 Peter 1:3-4 tells us that " . . .His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.” (2 Peter 1:3-4, NASB)

My heart's cry is for others to know the saving power of Jesus Christ and to live in light of who He is! (Romans 12:2)

My prayers are that each of us will continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and that we will each be the good stewards of God's grace and truth that He calls us to be.

God's Word - His revelation of Himself to mankind - is the most important Book in the world for it preserves God's truth, and points the way to relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Over the course of my life, God has stirred up a passion in me for His Word. To know Him better is the goal of my life, and to study His Word is my delight.

This blog was born out of the desire to share the unfailing love and faithfulness of the God of the Bible with others. Through journaling and writing, I am privileged to share my testimony of His mercy and grace to me.

My prayer is that every person would be encouraged to think on Truth, and to study the Word of God in depth. His Word is Truth, and it is reliable and faithful forever.

Examine the Scriptures daily to see if what you hear and read is true: everything you hear and read.

“Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” Acts 17:11 NIV 1984.
