Psalm 47

1 O clap your hands, all peoples; shout to God with the voice of joy. 2 For the Lord Most High is to be feared, a great King over all the earth. 3 He subdues peoples under us and nations under our feet. 4 He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom He loves. Selah

5 God has ascended with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet. 6 Sing praises to God, sing praises. 7 For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with a skillful psalm. 8 God reigns over the nations, God sits on His holy throne. 9 The princes of the people have assembled themselves as the people of the God of Abraham, for the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly exalted.

This psalm feels really loud, with all the shouting and singing and trumpeting. How could we be anything but loud when it comes to our Lord, the Lord who chose our inheritance for us. The Lord who gives us HEAVEN, His throne, where He resides and reigns over us. How do we be loud for the Lord? Thats something that I struggled with today as some of my non-christian friends from high school visited me at the GOC table. Yea we just had a conversation consisting of small talk, but I wonder what was going through their minds, and what should've been going through mine in order that I mightve shared with them the glorious gift of heaven that they can receive through belief in Jesus Christ.

Today I had what I consider a pretty good day. And as a result of that I find myself not thinking about God and my dependency on Him as much, its not that I sought Him any less, but that because I was not in some sort of despair my heart did not cry out for Him. Oh that I would turn to the One who gives us EVERYTHING at every point of the day, how insiginificant are the matters that were on my mind today and how weak is my heart to go astray so easily from seeking after the one true love that I know I have secured.
