“Declaring His Righteousness From Generation To Generation”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 145

From the generation of Abel to the generation Enock. From the generation of Noah to the generation of Abraham. From the generation of Joseph to the generation of Moses. From the generation of Samuel to the generation of Malachi. From the generation of John the Baptist to the generation of Jesus Christ.

The Righteousness of God was declared from generation to generation. This Righteousness of God is a Person. His Name is Jesus Christ.

From the generation of the Day of Pentecost to the generation of Azusa street. The Righteousness of God is proclaimed.

Today, in our generation, the Righteousness of God is proclaimed, for the righteousness of God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”

The Psalmist declares His Righteousness.

Let’s read:

Psalm 145:1-4 “I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. [2] Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. [3] Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. [4] One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.”

From David’s generation to the generation of Josiah, the Righteousness of God was proclaimed. The mighty acts of God was declared.
The mighty acts done through Elijah, Elisha, Jesus Christ, and the Apostles continues today. The same God yesterday, today, and forever.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 145:5-7 “I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. [6] And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness. [7] They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.”

It’s the song of Salvation, the song of redemption. The song that will forever be sang.

Revelation 14:3-4 “And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. [4] These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.”

No man or woman can sing it but the redeemed.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 145:8-18 “The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. [9] The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. [10] All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee. [11] They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; [12] To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. [13] Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. [14] The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. [15] The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. [16] Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. [17] The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. [18] The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.”

He is as near as the words in our mouth. He will respond to EVERY heart that calls upon Him.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 145:19-21 “He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. [20] The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy. [21] My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.”

Bless His Hoy Name. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Holy Name as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. The Righteousness of God revealed, in Christ!
