"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 15 September 2011"
Today's Blog Title: "O Earth, Praise God"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 148:1-14
Today's Key Verses:
Psalm 148:1-6 "Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens; Praise him in the heights! Praise Him, all his angels; Praise Him, all His hosts! Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all you stars of light! Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, And you waters above the heavens! Lem them praise the name of the Lord, For He commanded and they were created. He also established them forever and ever; He made a decree which shall not pass away."
Psalm 148:13 "Let them praise the name of the Lord, For His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven."
Since nothing in heaven above or on earth below is left out this praise psalm, can be called a psalm of universal praise. This psalm is highly charged with praise.
The psalmist exclaims, "Praise the Lord," and calls on all in the heavens to join him. Praise also echoes from the earth building to a crescendo as one by one all of Creation joins in the shouts of praise.
Its not favoritism for God to hold Israel close to His heart. Its both divine freedom and divine grace. Freedom, because God chose Israel without reference to Abraham's merits or the merits of his descendants. Grace, because through Israel God planned to make a way of salvation for all humankind.
The wonder is that God cared for our sinful race at all. Today, the wonder is that it is you and me who, despite our flaws, are held close to God's heart.
Today's Hymn: "Faith Is The Victory"
His banner over us is love, Our sword the Word of God
We tread the road the saints above, with shouts of triumph trod,
By faith, they like a whirlwinds breath, swept on over every field
The faith by which they conquered death, is still our shining shield
Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory!
O glorious victory, that overcomes the world
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, as we marvel at Your creation, Your creation speaks of your Power and Majesty. We thank you Abba Father that you hold us Your creation close to Your heart and because of Your grace we can come boldly to Your throne as believers in the Name of Your Son Jesus Christ. May we give you always, all the praise and glory for which You so richly deserve.
Amen
