Daily Bible Reading: Genesis 46, 47, 48; Psalm 16, 46, 76, 106, 136; Proverbs 16

“Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?” Psalm 106:2

Today, we have before us two good questions. First is the question; “who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord?” Well, dear reader, answer that one. You must first of all have seen or heard about God’s might acts before you can tell about them.
There are different kinds of knowledge in the Bible. One, is to know about something and another, is to know by experience. In other words, I know about ice cream. It is made with milk, sugar and other ingredients. I also know ice cream by experience. I like to eat it in a dish, in a cone and even with peanut butter stirred in. I know because I have experienced it.
An unregenerate heathen can and does know about God. Romans 1:19-20 tells us that God created us all with a glimmer of the truth of his existence and it is up to us to fan the flame, so to speak, and search Him out. The person who is not born again can know about God, but is separated from God because of his sin.
The second question, “who can shew forth all his praise?” is from an experiential knowledge. If I am born again, I will praise Him. I have been given the free gift of salvation and for that, I will praise Him eternally.
How about it, Christian? Are you praising Him because you know Him and have a vibrant relationship with Him?
Maybe you just know about Him and that is all you can say. Run to Him today! If you are not born again, then put your faith and trust in Him today.
Maybe you are saved, but you don’t praise Him like you should. Today is a great day to start.
