Psalm 47 in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan ministered to me more today than at any other time I have read it! It is SO appropriate for the times in which we are now living here on earth!
Psalm 47
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
1 O clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph and songs of joy! 2 For the Lord Most High excites terror, awe, and dread; He is a great King over all the earth.3 He subdued peoples under us, and nations under our feet. 4 He chose our inheritance for us, the glory and pride of Jacob, whom He loves. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! 5 God has ascended amid shouting, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet. 6 Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises! 7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises in a skillful psalm and with understanding. 8 God reigns over the nations; God sits upon His holy throne. 9 The princes and nobles of the peoples are gathered together, a [united] people for the God of Abraham, for the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly exalted.
With so much hatred and division, terrorist attacks and wars, and catastrophes (both natural and manmade), it gives me great confidence to know that through it all, GOD IS STILL GOD! HE is orchestrating the lives of His people, when we allow Him to! In HIS presence is fullness of joy, no matter what is going on around us! Remember that as a born again believer, YOUR citizenship is in Heaven! You are an ambassador on earth for the sole purpose of sharing the Good News, and supporting others who are doing so, also! Make THAT your prime directive! Your #1 priority and concern! Then HE will cause everything you lay your hands to, to be successful. He will direct your steps in the right direction! Blessings await! Let's GO! AMEN! Here is Hillsong UNITED with "GO":
Shalom in Him!
