The 47th Psalm

My ongoing adventure into the scripture has brought me to Psalm 47 today.

This is a Psalm made to praise God and thank Him for what He has done. (By the way, thanking and praising are two different things. You praise God for who He is, but you thank Him for what He has done.)

I am struck by the specificity of the ways God thinks about His people. Verse 4 says God picked out their land specially.

God has authority over all the earth.

Through my readings of the Psalms I am more and more convinced we should praise Him at all times, not just when we "feel" like it.
