“Come, everyone! Clap your hands! Shout to God with joyful praise!”
“For the Lord Most High is awesome. He is the great King of all the earth.”
Psalms 47:1,2 NLT
This Psalm was written by the sons of Korah. Korahites were first mentioned in Numbers when they led a rebellion against Moses and they died for their sins, the ground opened up and swallowed them. However, the children were spared and served as doorkeepers in the house of God. They opened and closed the doors morning and evening. Interestingly, they also wrote Psalms and these were sung. These Psalms expressed their human woes but also the greatness of God.
We can have a history, personally or familiarly, that is full of darkness. Yet, a ‘but God’ moment can change all that was into a new and joyful path. For us in the New Testament we have Jesus. Jesus is our redeemer, our righteousness, our holiness as we walk in faith before Him. We must let go of the history and walk in the new. The new is why life and joy reside, forgetting the past we must move on in the new.
All things are new in Christ. He is our life, our fulfilment. Let us join with the Sons of Korah and worship Him! Amen!
