August 31, 2026
SUMMARY: This devotional meditation focuses on Psalm 117, the shortest psalm in the Bible, which serves as a universal call for all nations and peoples to praise the Lord. The message emphasizes that this praise is rooted in two primary attributes of God: His great steadfast love demonstrated through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and His unwavering faithfulness that endures forever. Unlike humanity, which is changeable and often faithless, God remains constant and reliable in fulfilling His covenant promises. The sermon challenges listeners to offer more than verbal worship, urging a whole-life transformation characterized by glad devotion and surrender. Ultimately, the text highlights the privilege of believers to extol God for His redemptive work and eternal reliability.
Praise the Lord, all nations!
Extol him, all peoples!
2 For great is his steadfast love toward us,
and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.
Praise the Lord!
(Psalm 117:1-2, ESV)
