before the gods
I give You thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing Your praise; (Psalm 138:1 ESV)
keep singing.
There are so many gods in this world. lowercase ‘g’
Money. lack of money. stuff. self. sex. drugs. religion. job. people.
I love this psalm. BEFORE THE GODS I SING YOUR PRAISE. It’s where I want to be. It’s what I want to be found doing. I am tired of hearing people singing about the gods when they have a million reasons to sing God’s praise.
When we sing God’s praise, it’s not possible to sing our own.
What are you singing today?
Self confident. self pitying. self loathing. self glorifying.
or
There HE goes a HERO a Savior to the world!
The thing is we are always singing. We must learn to be decisive and choose to sing rightly.
