Psalm 111 - Praise the Lord

The psalmist gives thanks to the Lord with his whole heart. We are to love the Lord with all that we have.
Why are we to do this? It is because His works are great, so we should study them. Science should be a noble enterprise, but it only remains so if fear of the lord is our foundation.
When we look at the world we see  a world full of splendour and majesty, every scientist would admit that.
There are also the works of the Lord in our lives, we need to remember these, and ponder on them as well. We will see His graciousness and mercy. He is a God who provides for us as well. He has made a covenant with His people and He is faithful to that covenant.
His works are faithful. He does not lead us down a path only to abandon us. His commands and ways are trustworthy, we can follow them with confidence. We too are to reflect His nature by being faithful and upright too.
He has sent redemption to His people.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, Proverbs says the same thing.It gives us good understanding.
