Psalm 65, Vs 2-3 “(Lord) We all arrive at your doorstep sooner or later, loaded with guilt, our sins too much for us – but you get rid of them once and for all.” (TM)
This makes me burst out in song to You….. here is my song to you today: YOU ARE THE: Earth tamer – ocean pourer – mountain maker – hillside dresser – sea storm breaker – wave stiller – miracle worker – spring shower bringer – golden wheatfields painter – grain grower – fruit ripener – flower bloomer – Strength giver – sun riser – moon shiner (Not that kind!) – Life enricher – hope springer – mood enhancer – life motivator – sin remover – hurt healer – hand holder – vow maker – and the original promise keeper! You’re the Hill dancer, and the song inspirer!!
Those who have had their sins removed and their guilt burden lifted write and sing glorious songs to you. So….
“Let them shout,and shout, and shout! OH, OH, let them sing!” (TM) The CEV says, let them “Echo with joyful song!”
The psalm begins with the idea that those who don’t know God’s forgiveness will look at us and our joy and be jealous. And well they should be….. SHOUT! SHOUT! SHOUT! (echo…..)
