God is High Above

Lady of Light

In Psalm 135, it is interesting that David tells us confidently what he knows:

"For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all Gods."

In meditating on this Psalm, we must ask ourselves if we are consistently pulling the Lord, not only above all Gods, but above all else. Do we at times become distracted by our family, friends, jobs, possessions, activities etc.? I believe that is why the instructions in the first three verses of this Psalm are present;

"Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise him, O ye servants of the Lord. Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
Praise the Lord: for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his name, for it is pleasant."

When we keep our hearts full of praise and song, we can't help but put God first.
Recently, our CD player went on the blink. I noticed a big difference in the atmosphere or environment without the continuous background of hymns we are accustomed to. I will be glad when it is fixed or replaced. Not that we can't sing our own songs, but the background music set a positive tone in our home. I can use the Christian radio for the same purpose and I might learn something along the way because not all the stations have continuous music, but sermons and teaching as well.

So, in meditating on this Psalm, it is my hope that it will bring you a heart of thanksgiving and praise with which to begin your week, and experience another way that the Lord guards our minds and hearts in Christ Jesus.

God bless you
