Monday Reflection – September 22, 2025Celebrating God’s Wonderful Work Full of honour and majesty is the Lord’s work, and his righteousness endures forever. Psalm111:3 The book of Psalms is a collection of 150 religious poems that express a wide range of human emotions and experiences, including praise, thanksgiving, lament and confession. It is a deeply spiritual and emotional book that has been cherished by religious and non-religious people alike for centuries. In today’s text, the Psalmist reflects on the greatness of God’s works and the delight that those who seek them out experience. Today’s Watchword begins by proclaiming that the Lord’s work is full of honour and majesty; indeed, they are great. This statement sets a powerful tone and encapsulates the central theme of the Psalm – the greatness of God’s actions and creations. Indeed, God’s works are beyond human comprehension and have a profound impact on the world and its inhabitants. Throughout the Bible, God’s works are consistently portrayed as awe-inspiring and wondrous, ranging from the creation of the universe to the miraculous deliverance of his people. We will do well to remind ourselves that God does nothing mean and trifling; there is nothing unworthy of him in nature, providence, and grace; every work of his serves to display his glory, and set off the greatness of his majesty. The heavens and the earth are full of his glory; he does all things well and wise in his sovereign rulership of the world. Whatever God does is for our benefit, as well as to manifest his glory, and to the honour of his powerful name. Today’s text also reminds us that God’s righteousness endures forever. God’s justice and holiness are evident in all his ways and works; for there is no unrighteousness in anything done by him; just and true are all his ways. God’s righteousness is revealed in his faithfulness in fulfilling every word of promise for all generations. So, today’s text, and by extension Psalm 111, is a celebration of God’s magnificent deeds, which not only showcase his power but also highlight his unwavering righteousness. The emphasis on God’s works in this passage suggests that they should be joyfully acknowledged and cherished by those who seek to understand and appreciate them more fully. Understanding God’s works requires a deliberate effort, for God’s works provide a source of pleasure and promote deeper inquiries into his nature. The Psalmist encourages the faithful to invest their time in grasping the significance of God’s actions, asserting that those who take delight in them will be rewarded with greater insight. Ultimately, the Psalm suggests that a relationship based on understanding and obedience to God’s commands is not only wise but fulfilling. May our reflection on God’s works that are full of honour and majesty, and on his righteousness that endures forever, serve to inspire us to worship God more, live obediently, and serve him more faithfully. Amen. Jermaine Gibson
