The All-Inclusive Word


Today was quiet and restorative.
I felt like a sheep near still watersLast week was productive, but extremely busy. A friend introduced me to an awesome writer’s conference where the biggest challenge, in my opinion, was keeping up with the three-hour time difference.

What a privilege to meet a variety of authors in different genres. My three-ring binder of handouts and personal notes is about two inches thick. It took quite a while to decide on categories for my divider pages.

It took me days to recover from hours and hours of Zoom classes. That’s why I enjoyed quiet time today by meditating and making notes on Psalm 145, verse by verse. Now and then I relaxed with things I had recorded on my DVR.

Talk about being relaxed! I nearly forgot I had a blog to write, so I decided why not share *Psalm 145:9-20? These verses intrigued me because of the word "all."

Here's a list of some of God's characteristics. In reviewing these, I see many good reasons to trust the LORD God with our lives:

He is good to all

He has compassion on all He has made

His dominion endures through all generations

He is trustworthy in all His promises

He is faithful in all He does

He upholds all who fall

He lifts up all who are bowed down

He is righteous in all His ways

He is near to all who call on Him in truth

He watches over all who love Him

He will destroy all the wicked

Have you ever experienced God's compassion, fulfilled promises, or

lifting up when life has you overloaded and bowed down? 

I have. What a wonderful God we serve.

Take time to review God’s characteristics with your own life in mind. Or simply read Psalm 145 for yourself. David packed a lot of information about God into twenty-one short verses.
