Day 158: Psalms 47:5 – 7

            Psalm 47:5 God has gone up with a shout, The LORD with the sound of a trumpet. 6Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises! 7For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with understanding.  

            O God, You have proven to the whole world that You are God and King. As You created everything through Your Word, You also will pronounce your triumph with a shout from Your Son (I Thessalonians 4:16).  Your people give a shout of praise as You ascend to Your throne. With trumpets blaring, the nations will acknowledge that You are King of all kings and Lord over all lords. We will cry out with the angels that sing before Your throne. We will sing the song of Moses, the servant of God and of Lamb, saying: “Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints! 4Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You, For Your judgments have been manifested.” (Revelation 15:3-4).

            Even now we have a taste of glorified worship before Your throne.  We adore You with hearts full of love, with minds and spirits stirred by their understanding of who You are and all that You have done. We sing thoughtfully, intentionally, and joyfully. You have opened our eyes to see You, to know You, to love You.

            You are our God and we love You. We praise You. We thank You for all You are and all You have done. Glory be to God. The Lord reigns. Let the earth be glad.

            Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus!

Jesus Christ brought me to Himself at a very early age. I began seeking the Lord and writing prayer journals in my early teens and have continued to grow in my knowledge and experience of prayer. I am still learning and growing in my prayer life and long to help others grow in their prayer lives as well. I am not an expert, but a practitioner who needs God to continue to teach me to pray. Prayer is both simple, yet also profound. It is deep and draws us into the depth of God, but it is also so easy and wondrous that we can cry out to God with "Abba, Father" prayers because of the work of Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit. Prayer comes from God's heart, works in our hearts, and teaches us to go back to seek God's heart!
