Psalm 71

Of all the verses in this psalm, I think these verses hit me the hardest:

14 But as for me, I will always have hope;
I will praise you more and more.

15 My mouth will tell of your righteousness,
of your salvation all day long,
though I know not its measure.

My mouth will tell of your righteousness... though I know not its measure. What a statement of faith! Even though the psalmist cannot grasp the fullness of God's salvation, or figure it all out, the psalmist can still praise God. We, who live after Jesus, can say something similar. We do not fully understand salvation, we do not fully understand Jesus. Yet that doesn't need to keep us from telling (and celebrating) the story. How can you do that today?
