CHOUT TO GOD CLAPPING YOUR HANDS
Psalm 47: 2-10
Carried away by feelings, we must not sing the Lord by being ecstatic. If we observe what we sing, we find that we lack joy. It's more like a whimper. The psalm today teaches us why the people must sing with joy and gladness.

1) When we think of the Lord, the Most High
The reasons why we should joyfully sing the Lord are: - God is the Lord Most High who has the power and honor - God is King over all the earth - God reigns over the nations. We who have welcomed the eternal king, our praise and worship must be extremely warm.

2) Because the Lord has given us the earth as our inheritance
This great God to which all people must praise, has given us the earth as our inheritance (vs 4 and 1 Peter 2: 9). He submitted the peoples and nations to bend them under our feet. If God is with us, everything belongs to us (Rm 8: 32). Despite all these facts are there in your heart some anxiety or week and sad thoughts? If so, get over these things and praise the Lord.

Prayer: Lord, thou art the Lord, the Most High who has power and authority over all the earth, thy name is worthy of praise from all the people, make sure that in my heart I clap hands to praise your name each day.

One Word:: trample under your feet your sad thoughts
