Today’s reading just reminds us again of the sovereignty and omnipotence of God.  These psalms relate the blessings, abundance, and prosperity to those who fear the Lord, who walk in His ways. 

Psalm 147:4
He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name. 

Isaiah 40:26
Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.

This great God who knows the number of stars and calls them by name, also keeps an accounting of us.

Matthew 10:30
And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Just as He brings out the starry host and calls them each by name, He summons us by name

Isaiah 43:1
But now, this is what the LORD says-- he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. 

Isaiah 45:3
I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who summons you by name.

John 10:3
The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

What an amazing God! He knows our name! He calls us His own! WOW!

One more great thought to ponder...

Psalm 149:4-5
For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with salvation. Let the saints rejoice in this honor and sing for joy on their beds.

One of the definitions of the word bed (in the previous verse) is "bier" or a platform on which a coffin is placed at a funeral. These verses tell us that even on our deathbeds, we can sing for joy because of our salvation.  Praise the Lord!
