I will tell about your
justice, and all day long proclaim your salvation, though I cannot fathom its
full extent. (Psalm 71:15)
Psalm 71 is a prayer song to God. A key theme of the song is
our need of God throughout our lifespan. The writer reflects on how God watched
over him in infancy and childhood, and petitions God to continue caring for him
through adulthood and old age.
In verse 15, we find a wonderful thought: “I will tell… though I cannot fathom…”
The writer admits that he cannot fully understand or explain the ways of God. In the
face of his limited knowledge, he testifies anyway.
Sometimes we may feel like we are unqualified to speak
because we are not Bible scholars, or we may feel nervous about being asked
questions that we might not be able to answer. We need not be nervous! If we have made
a decision to believe in Jesus as our Lord and Savior, then we can speak
confidently of our personal experience of salvation. We can speak confidently
about the righteousness of God that has brought deliverance to our souls. We can
boldly express our gratitude for what God has done in us and for us.
Perhaps we can become intentional about making daily proclamations.
What can you and I say, today, about the things God has done for us?
Sing to the LORD,
praise his name: proclaim his salvation day after day. (Psalm 96:2)
