David is a poetic soul.
I never tire of reading his psalms. But I wonder whether Hebrew poetry Utilized alliteration. In one short passage in my English Bible the Nouns describing God all begin with the letter "s." The repetition pleases my ear while it also Emphasizes God's awesome attributes. He is my Strength, My Savior, My Shield, My Salvation, My Stronghold. Five good reasons to give glory to God. Fve powerful ways to proclaim His praise. Psalm 18:1-3 On some days I feel out of sync, and
I'm not able to put my finger on The cause. I do what I know to do, Praise, Pray, Press on, But sometimes, despite all my Tactics the angst lingers even till Bedtime. But the next morning, Like this one, It's gone. It's good.
It's good to praise God in the Morning. And it's good to proclaim His Faithfulness in the Evening as well. If for no other reason, Beginning and ending my day in Praise is a good thing to do. "It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to the most High. It's good to proclaim Your unfailing love in the morning; Your faithfulness in the evening..." Psalm 92:1,2 On some mornings I don't feel like
Praising God, but I do it anyway. Why? Does His ego demand it? What's the point? Certainly, my praise pleases God, but I need it as much as He. When I sit quietly, communing with my Father, my mind tends to wander. I think of my undone tasks. But as I sing a praise song or read a psalm of Adoration I am able to switch my Focus from my concerns to God's glory and My thoughts are meshed with His. And as I practice praise I pray with a Submissive spirit rather than a Demanding one. I want what God wants. Praising God helps me to set my Affection on things above. My praise elevates Him, but it Also elevates me. "If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above where Christ sits at the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth." Colossians 3:1,2 As I praised God this morning during
My quiet time, I wondered, Does He ever tire of my praise? Does He ever say, "You've reached Your quota now"? Did I ever tire of hearing Jack say, "I love you"? Or my kids and grandkids repeating The same three words to me? I need the words of affirmation for my Well being. I can never hear words of love enough. And I can never praise my Father even Half enough. "Who can ever praise Him half enough?" Psalm 106:2 Gratitude!
Thanks! Praise! God unexpectedly answered a Prayer. The joy will carry me all day long, And longer. Sometimes worship is loud.
"Come everyone, and clap your hands for Joy! Shout to God with joyful praise." * But I'm glad God gives me another option. "Be still and know that I am God." ** At times silence is all I can manage, and I believe He is just as pleased with Quiet praise. *Psalm 47:1 **Psalm 46:19 Daylight was approaching and
As I headed my car west, the Sun rays suddenly penetrated the Clouds overhead turning them an Intense pink. Hovering in a layer beneath the bright Blue sky, the contrast in colors was Stunning, Breathtaking. I was glad that I was forced to stop at A red light so I could stare longer at The spectacle, trying to memorize Every brilliant detail. When I turned onto the freeway the Fleeting glory was gone. But I couldn't help but tell God, "Wow! That was amazing! I think that sometimes You just like to show off." |
