Psalms
45 – 47
One thing as I read the Psalms and hear the how they sound
in English I have often wondered how they sounded in their original language.
Since you would get the tone and flow better since I assume they would not have
used words that did not flow. The one time I did this I was disappointed in the
flow … It may be the one I picked, but it sounded rough.
Verses 45:6 & 7 are ones that makes you wonder if we are
personifying God too much:
6 O
God, Your throne is eternal;
You
will rule your kingdom with a scepter of justice.
7 You have loved what is right and hated what is evil.
Is God really on a throne or do we have to
imagine that to understand God? If we tried to understand Him on His level
would it just blow or minds so therefore we must make Him in our image? As you
know I look at God more as a conscious energy and therefore all over the place
like described other places in the Bible. Guess we have to have an interface,
for some it’s a burning bush, for others it a donkey and for me it’s a small
voice I am trying to filter better.
Verse 47:1 is something we need to do more:
Clap your hands,
all of you;
raise
your voices joyfully and loudly.
Give honor for the True God of the universe;
We
need to really honor God more and rejoice in Him. I know we sing three songs,
get a sermon and then sing another during the offering, but is that the only
time we do this. I am in a funk where distractions seem to keep me away from
doing this outside the 3, preach, 1 formula weekly. Pray I can regain focus so
I remain true to God.
