This morning in Sunday school we started a series on music. From now until summer we will be looking at a combination of themes in psalms, and then, during fellowship, look at contemporary songs; how they run parallel or work in contrast with biblical principles.
This morning's psalm was 147 and the topic was praise.
Every time we hear from our Father we turn to praise, and we should. Maybe it is the formal response to God's call in the bulletin or a night of praise up on a hill at a cross.
Traditional hebrew messages usually end in a psalm.
So today I challenged my middle school students to write (together, each contributing a line) a psalm of praise. I feel like I should share with you all what they came up with.
Hallelujah
Let us describe in song how great He is
The Lord blesses those who follow in his ways
He re-enlightens those that may have lost the light of religion to more worldly illusions
He gives us strength when we are in need of it
He comforts all including ones who sin
He strengthens our hearts when we pray to him
The Lord loves everything that passes through him but still forgives the bad if they repent their sins
He stands by us through everything
He gives live to those who follow him
He can take us anywhere
He has proclaimed His word to all who believe
Hallelujah
The Word says "Let everything that has breath, Praise the Lord", when was the last time you sincerely praised your Father?
On another note I want you all to know that I recognize how sparse my entries have been, God has been doing a lot of work in me and my friends lately and I want to give him time before I start trying to process what He is up too. All glory, honor, and power is His.
