Day 47: Psalm 47- Noteworthy and Praise Worthy is He

Dear Friends,

Psalm 47 exhorts us to applaud, shout at the top of our lungs, and to sing songs to Him. It says to sing out to a most stunning God. When I think of the word stunning, I think of a huge, bright, and apparent diamond. The presence of such a natural wonder makes me think of God, what He has created, what He had done, and what He will do. I think of how awesome He is and that is noteworthy and praise worthy. When I think about Him this way, I am freed to soar above the mire and muck that may surround me because I am free to praise Him in every second for what I have and what He has saved me from, as well as kept me from. Everyone experiences sadness and turmoil from time to time, and we wonder if we can climb the mountain. If our high priest King Jesus has already prepared the way, we can make it.

When reading this Psalm, one can see how powerful God is:“The powers of earth are God’s; He soars over all. This again is noteworthy and praiseworthy. He crushes hostile people and puts us at the front of the line. So it says, “Sing your best praises to God.”

Philippians 4:8-9 says, “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

Hmmm, I guess it’s time to sing, shout, and praise God! Won’t you join me?

Psalm 47-The Message (MSG)

 ^1-9 Applause, everyone. Bravo, bravissimo! Shout God-songs at the top of your lungs!
   God Most High is stunning,
      astride land and ocean.
   He crushes hostile people,
      puts nations at our feet.
   He set us at the head of the line,
      prize-winning Jacob, his favorite.
   Loud cheers as God climbs the mountain,
      a ram's horn blast at the summit.
   Sing songs to God, sing out!
      Sing to our King, sing praise!
   He's Lord over earth,
      so sing your best songs to God.
   God is Lord of godless nations—
      sovereign, he's King of the mountain.
   Princes from all over are gathered,
      people of Abraham's God.
   The powers of earth are God's—
      he soars over all.
