Ps. 98: Sing with Joy

Psalm 98:3 "He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God."

Another quickie, the 98th Psalm is one of celebration. Whenever I read, "The LORD remembered" it is almost exclusively when a person (or Israel) has been delivered from some terrible onslaught, or have returned to the covenant made with God.

When it talks about the LORD making his salvation known to the nations, I wonder if that is the instrinsic idea in everyone that there is a God, a creator, a power higher than they. It is the LORD that has done this. He reveals Himself, in his might and righteousness. Creation celebrates this, in full view of every person.
