I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. Psalm 108:3 (Psalm 16, 35, 57, 63,108)
These Psalms are from David’s fugitive years and read as battle cries, but David is moving nearer to his throne and becoming more mature and aware of God’s providence and plan.
God created Israel for the purpose of bringing a Redeemer and Savior into the world. This Holy nation was like no other. They served One God and that singular deity’s love and protection was sufficient for all they would ever need. David began to plan for his government. He would lead the people in worship and praise, making all other nations know they were the children of the One True God and the strongest nation on earth, unique in its laws and power.
A nation is not solely defined by geography, but considers heritage, culture, language, economics……..…..and kinship. Let no man doubt who your God is and why you find Him worthy of obedience, faith and praise. Where you lead, lead with praise, so that all will know!
I hope to hear you from my house!
