GOD IS OUR LIVING GOD
Psalm 48:2-15This psalm begins with praise the Lord who builds the walls of the holy city of Jerusalem and protect his people from enemies using the wall of the holy city, and finally the psalmist contemplate the love of the Lord. Through this text, we can learn two philosophies of the people of Israel:
1) The philosophy concerning our God
What God is described? The Jews believed that God is our God (v 2, 15) God is not abstract, or someone who exists somewhere vaguely. The Jews believed that God is their God who saves with love.
2) The philosophy that says that our God is the living God
The Jews had this philosophy that God is the living God, that is to say, it intervenes in the minute affairs, builts a vast and beautiful city of Jerusalem (9), it breaks the sea (8), he breaks the plot of the enemies and leads Israel into the way of life (15), it also establishes the plan to show Israel what path should be taken and who judge according to benevolence and righteousness (10, 12). For us who live in our generation, these two philosophies are needed.
Prayer: God, become my God, et become our God, and let me experience your power and love of the living God.
One Word: God is our God
