Psalms 45 \u2013 47<\/h1>\n

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 \u2026 It may be the one I picked, but it sounded rough.<\/p>\n

Verses 45:6 & 7 are ones that makes you wonder if we are personifying God too much:<\/p>\n

\n

6\u00a0<\/sup>O God, Your throne is eternal;
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0You will rule your kingdom with a scepter of justice.
7\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0You have loved what is right and hated what is evil.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

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\u2019s a burning bush, for others it a donkey and for me it\u2019s a small voice I am trying to filter better.<\/p>\n

Verse 47:1 is something we need to do more:<\/p>\n

\n

Clap your hands, all of you;
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0raise your voices joyfully and loudly.
Give honor for the True God of the universe;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
