Chapter 115: Idols are False Gods
Our God
is in the heavens and not an Idol. In this Psalm the author explains why idols
are False God’s.
“Their
idols ae silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. They have mouths, but they
speak not; eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not:
noses have they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle not: feet
have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat” (Psalm
115:4-7)
In other words, the author is
telling us that idols are not god’s or even The God, because they cannot speak,
hear, walk or feel. God the Father is like us, He has a body of flesh and
blood. The only difference is that His body is perfected.
We are
blessed of the Lord and we should always praise him and not idols, made by
human hands.
Chapter 116: Precious in the eyes of the Lord,
the Death of the Saints
The
author starts off this Psalm by saying that he loves the Lord, because he hears
his voice of supplication. He tells us that he will always call upon the Lord. The
Lord preserves the simple and will help in times of trouble.
“Precious
in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints” (Psalms 116:15)
