"Our God is Greater" -2

"And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD." (Psalms 40:3) Many shall see what? What shall many see that will cause them to fear, and to trust in the LORD? "It" could be the "new Song" that David has placed in his mouth by God, but I don't think we are talking about praise here; it's more like something spectacular that has caused the praise. As I mentioned in the beginning of this discussion, this Psalm has two parts: one is the first eleven verses, which is "A Song of Deliverance"; while the other, which starts at verse twelve, is "A Prayer for Help". The general idea, and the main point that we must fasten hard into, is that God has delivered us from all things already, we just need to pray for help in understanding and acceptance of His grace. "It", I believe is the free gift of Salvation, which should not only cause us to fear God for what He has done, but in whom else can we trust after seeing to what measure He was willing to go to for us? If you have not seen the short video by Kirk Cameron called "UNSTOPPABLE", then you should grab a copy of one right away and watch it about five or six times. The first time that I watched it, my jaw dropped; the second time I watched it, by heart broke; I can't wait to watch it again to see if I can grab hold a little tighter of the One that is holding me. The main point that is asked in the video, is, "Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?"; which is a question that stumps and stumbles so many believers and nonbelievers time and time again. The word "fear", although it causes us to be afraid, the fear is one of being astonished, as in, What have I done! But it takes us to the next level in our astonishment, because we realize that no matter what we have done, He has done a greater thing to overcome anything that we can do. God's grace and mercy is "Unstoppable"... "Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; but is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the election of the world: but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ." (Galatians 4:1-7)
