Psalm 45

Our history books are filled with lists of people who made names for themselves. Some were great leaders while others were terrible dictators. Many are recognized for the accomplishments that benefitted their contemporaries as well as their descendants. Still other evoke terror in the hearts of those they asailed and are referenced with contempt in following generations. The author of this psalm was not concerned that his name was known. God has ensured that his words have been preserved while his name disappeared. I believe God honored him in this way because of the desire he penned in the last veres; that the LORD's name would be praised forever. We can work to honor ourselves and hope that we are remembered past our children's generation. Or we can seek to honor God and rest in confidence that he will be remembered for thousands of generations.
It took me about 3 minutes to read this psalm.
