Psalm 47: Clap your hands, all peoples!

    Shout to God with loud songs of joy!

2 For the Lord, the Most High, is to be feared,

    a great king over all the earth.

3 He subdued peoples under us,

    and nations under our feet.

4 He chose our heritage for us,

    the pride of Jacob whom he loves. Selah

5 God has gone up with a shout,

    the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.

6 Sing praises to God, sing praises!

    Sing praises to our King, sing praises!

7 For God is the King of all the earth;

    sing praises with a psalm!

8 God reigns over the nations;

    God sits on his holy throne.

9 The princes of the peoples gather

    as the people of the God of Abraham.

For the shields of the earth belong to God;

    he is highly exalted!

The Book of Psalms - all 150 of them, with different styles and lengths, by different authors through all the times of Israel's Old Testament History. From songs of praise to teaching sections - some super short while some have 22 verses - How do you summarize that? If there is any one statement it is simply this: God Is King,  He made all; He rules over all. He is the center of reality.  That is the key to life we are prone to forget and even push out of our hearts and minds.  What is your favorite?  What psalm or song reminds you that God is King; He is in control; He rules your life and your world. You trust Him?" Post it here: Take a selfie of you singing it, reading it, or a picture of the lyrics or a key verse, a plaque on your wall.  Let us rejoice today that God is King.
