Psalm 115 - Day 115

¹ Not to us, LORD, not to us
   but to your name be the glory,
   because of your love and faithfulness.

² Why do the nations say,
   “Where is their God?”
³ Our God is in heaven;
   he does whatever pleases him.
⁴ But their idols are silver and gold,
   made by human hands.
⁵ They have mouths, but cannot speak,
   eyes, but cannot see.
⁶ They have ears, but cannot hear,
   noses, but cannot smell.
⁷ They have hands, but cannot feel,
   feet, but cannot walk,
   nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
⁸ Those who make them will be like them,
   and so will all who trust in them.

⁹ House of Israel, trust in the LORD—
   he is their help and shield.
¹⁰ House of Aaron, trust in the LORD—
   he is their help and shield.
¹¹ You who fear him, trust in the LORD—
   he is their help and shield.

¹² The LORD remembers us and will bless us:
   He will bless the house of Israel,
   he will bless the house of Aaron,
¹³ he will bless those who fear the LORD—
   small and great alike.

¹⁴ May the LORD cause you to increase,
   both you and your children.
¹⁵ May you be blessed by the LORD,
   the Maker of heaven and earth.

¹⁶ The highest heavens belong to the LORD,
   but the earth he has given to humankind.
¹⁷ It is not the dead who praise the LORD,
   those who go down to the place of silence;
¹⁸ it is we who extol the LORD,
   both now and forevermore.

Praise the LORD.^[a]

There are so many great reminders in this verse. I love how it talks about those who build idols will become like their idols, speechless, motionless, etc. What a great perspective. This also is a great reminder to me to trust in the Lord. Sure we've heard it time and time again and we think we know how to do it. But really? Do we know how to REALLY trust in the Lord. Sometimes when we are waiting for something to happen or not happen, it seems like a long time. We might get weary and tired and want to give up. But trust in the Lord! Everything is in His timing, not ours. I must remember and practice this!
