BibleGateway.com Psalm 65
This Psalm shows us 3 truths:
1. The Lord will be praised.
2. His deeds of righteousness ARE awesome.
3. Every provision comes from Him.
Now we can flip the thought process just slightly. Mostly we will praise what ever treats us rightly. Why is this different concerning Christ?
With men, we do praise those that perform in our interest. With Christ he deserves all praise even without doing a single act on our behalf. Sadly, we can never bring Him anything worthy of His majesty. Christ coming and dying on our behalf pays the price to enable us for praise.
Second problem is this: Does the Lord show us righteous deeds BECAUSE of our praise?
In the first answer we see that we are unable to praise Jesus without His Holy Spirit to change our lives. We never live in a contract of praise traded for provision or deeds of righteousness. God is the source of our praise and He is the source of all hope. In the end He gets all the glory.
