Every time I read these words, my heart rejoices--and worships anew!
Great is the faithfulness, awesome mercy, and endless, all-powerful creativity of Jehovah, our King!
Read this out loud for maximum impact!
This is from Psalm 22, of The Message. It speaks of God’s faithfulness, and then, in verses 27-29, revival--like we are seeing today, even in the USA!
Glory glory, Hallelujah to our God, the one true King of kings and LORD of lords, the everliving, resurrected One!
22-24 Here’s the story I’ll tell my friends when they come to worship, and punctuate it with Hallelujahs: Shout Hallelujah, you God-worshipers; give glory, you sons of Jacob; adore him, you daughters of Israel.
He has never let you down, never looked the other way when you were being kicked around.
He has never wandered off to do his own thing; he has been right there, listening.
25-26 Here in this great gathering for worship I have discovered this praise-life.
And I’ll do what I promised right here in front of the Godworshipers.
Down-and-outers sit at God’s table and eat their fill. Everyone on the hunt for God is here, praising him.
“Live it up, from head to toe.
Don’t ever quit!”
27-28 From the four corners of the earth people are coming to their senses, are running back to God.
Long-lost families are falling on their faces before him.
God has taken charge; from now on he has the last word.
29 All the powermongers are before him —worshiping! All the poor and powerless, too —worshiping! Along with those who never got it together —worshiping!
30-31 Our children and their children will get in on this As the word is passed along from parent to child. Babies not yet conceived will hear the good news— that God does what he says.
Psalm 22:22-31, MSG What glorious news this is in Psalm 22! Written thousands of years ago, the Holy Bible is relative and revelatory for today! As true worshipers of the only true God (even those worshipers not yet conceived on earth--but already created in the heart of Elohim, our truly awesome, perfect, holy God!), the LORD Jesus Christ, we win!
