this july 4--

psalm 113:1-6 . . . Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD! Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and forevermore! From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised! The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens! Who is like the LORD our God, who is seated on high, who looks far down on the heavens and the earth?

i'm not usually one to be patriotic. but this year, the Lord has given me, by His grace, a new perspective.

He is high above all nations. He is high above our nation. despite where the people of our country put Him, despite our ignorance, He is seated on high.

our country, where we're at, how blessed we are, it is all thanks to Him. all praise to our Lord!

PRAISE THE LORD. BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD FROM THIS TIME 4th AND FOREVERMORE! [too far?]

happy 4th of july, my free friends. remember today the freedom you have in Him, not only the freedom our country is blessed with. remember your dependance upon Him, not only the independence of our great country.

amen! there is never an overdone effort that directs our praise to the only One Who deserves it. all of it and every bit we forget to direct to Him too!

"...praise Adonai, from the rising of the sun, til the end of every day, sing praise!"
