Psalm98-4-6Shout to the Lord, all the earth; break out in praise and sing for joy! Sing your praise to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and melodious song, with trumpets and the sound of the ram’s horn. Make a joyful symphony before the Lord, the King! Psalm 98:4-6A joyful symphony.  Sounds like a whole-hearted music jamming.  No wonder that music is called God’s language.  When music praises God, it is always joyful.  The music-test is — does it praise God.  Handel’s Messiah is ageless.  We never tire of hearing this music.  Even the lyrics cause us to praise God. “The kingdom of this world, Is become the kingdom of our Lord, And of His Christ, and of His Christ; And He shall reign for ever and ever, For ever and ever, forever and ever, For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.  Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! King of kings, and Lord of lords, King of kings, and Lord of lords, And Lord of lords, And He shall reign, And He shall reign forever and ever, King of kings, forever and ever, And Lord of lords, Hallelujah! Hallelujah!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoqxYqTNKmUYes, the Lord supports the humble, brings down the wicked into the dust.  Fact.  We have a choice – and our choice is to sing and praise.  Why?  Because of his great love for you and for me.  The things that we take for granted — the clouds and rain, the grass that grows — all is from the hand of the Lord.  Those who farm live with this reality day after day.  Awaiting harvests in season.  They search the sky, and humbly ask for God’s help.  They know the truth.
Is it true that those who live in cities with tall building cannot see where their Lord?  It is as a film covers the eyes and we cannot see the glory of God, and forget to praise Him who was, who is and always will be.May God be praised and we know who He is in our lives and our hearts.  He is all there is.  May we praise Him who IS!The Lord supports the humble, but he brings the wicked down into the dust. Sing out your thanks to the Lord; sing praises to our God with a harp. He covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth, and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures. Psalm 147:6-8
