sing yourselves into his presence.
3 Know this: God is God, and God, God.
He made us; we didn't make him.
We're his people, his well-tended sheep.
4 Enter with the password: "Thank you!"
Make yourselves at home, talking praise.
Thank him. Worship him.
5 For God is sheer beauty,
all-generous in love,
loyal always and ever.
Verse 1-2: "Bring a gift of laughter..."
How many times do we think that laughter could be a offering/gift to God? Have you tithed your 10% of laughter for the day? ha!
"Sing yourselves into His presence"
Sometimes you just have to start singing- you may not feel like it- but guess what- the psalms didn't ask if you wanted to- if you felt like it- because the author knew the secret: if you just do it- you'll get what you need: God's presence invading daily routine.
Verse 3: "Know this...God is God...and God, God..."
I love this... because I can just hear it: "you betta recognize... God is God.. and God...psh...He's GOD!" Know it. Believe it. Love it. You betta respect or as I like to say sometimes: respek. Word.
"He made us...we didn't make Him"
What a reminder- because so many times- we don't act like we believe that we are dependent on people. We act like we are self-made men/women and that God is just some big mythical airy creature that doesn't really exist (we may not every say that but we act like that is true). I love the reminder... that we don't KNOW everything- we didn't make God... He made us. So He's smarter. He knows better. He cares. Hello.
Verse 4: "Make yourselves at home..."
Wow. An invitation to make ourselves at home- where? In God. Our soul can find rest (Psalm 62) in the fact that God is sending out an invitation to abide. Wow.
Verse 5: "all-generous in love, always loyal and ever."
God's not stingy with His love for us. HA! He's not rationing out between everybody- He's got enough. He won't run out. He's not a traitor- not going to rat you out- sell your business or your email address to telemarketers. and then He's forever. Not going anywhere.
Only 5 verses but they bring so much hope, comfort, and excitement to the routine of everyday life.
