Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy! For the LORD, the Most High, is to be feared, a great king over all the earth. -- Psalm 47:1–2 (ESV) What do you consider worshipful? Maybe a quiet time of reflection. Maybe it's a loud excited melody. Maybe it's an old familiar hymn. Maybe it's a scripture read clearly. Often times our definitions are colored by the times and experiences where we felt close to God. We associate those times and the feelings we had with the truest expression of worship. But this Psalm pushes us to expand our boundaries. First, worship is not primarily about our experience but about the God we worship. Who He is and what He has done should elicit in us a response. That's worship. Second, the Psalm expresses that response in a variety of ways - singing, clapping, loud, soft, quiet, vocal, instrumental, and more. This week we turn to a Psalm that calls for (even demands) our response before the King of the Universe as he takes His throne. Who is He? What is He like? Why should we praise him? Take a few minutes and read through the whole of Psalm 47 before Sunday.
