All Together
Oct 26, 2014
Read: Psalm 98:1-9
For years my wifes piano and my banjo had an uncomfortable and infrequent relationship. Then, after Janet bought me a new guitar for my birthday, she expressed an interest in learning to play my old guitar. She is a very capable musician, and soon we were, together, playing songs of praise on our guitars. I like to think that a new kind of praise connection has filled our home.
When the psalmist was inspired to write of worshiping God, he began with this exhortation: Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth; break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises (Ps. 98:4). He called for us to sing to the Lord with instruments such as harps and trumpets and horns (vv.5-6). He commanded all of the earth to shout joyfully to the Lord (v.4). In this mighty orchestration of praise, the rolling sea is to roar with exaltation, the rivers are to clap their hands, and the hills are to sing out in joy. All the human race and creation are together called to praise the Lord in a new song of praise, for He has done marvelous things (v.1).
Today let your heart connect with others and Gods creation in singing songs of praise to the mighty Creator and Redeemer.
Let us celebrate together,
Lift our voice in one accord,
Singing of Gods grace and mercy
And the goodness of the Lord. Sper
God can use ordinary instruments to produce a concert of praise.
Psalm 98 pictures and celebrates God the Savior (vv.1-3), God the King (vv.4-6), and God the Judge (vv.7-9). It also celebrates His mercy and faithfulness to His people (v.3). It extols God as the righteous King who will rule the whole world with justice and fairness (v.9). This call to celebrate is universal, extending to the congregation at the temple (v.1), to the nations (v.2), and to the whole earth (v.4).

To: The Mayor
Good evening, Mayor, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to The Mayor family.
Hope you’ve had a relaxing weekend so far.
Another dusting of the white stuff, but still too warm in the day time.

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
