Big Parade

Granddaddy, Memaw, and grandboy

"The Right and Justice are the roots of Your rule; Love and Truth are its fruits. Blessed are the people who know the passwords of praise, who shout on parade in the bright presence of GOD!" (Psalm 89:14-15 The Message)

Coming into our subdivision on Friday, we drove down the hill and ran into this:

From the backseat, our three-year-old grandboy piped, "Oh, man! Look at that BIG parade!"

Close to the middle of the book of Psalm, we find a prayer by Ethan the Ezrahite. According to the NASB study Bible, Ethan mourned the downfall of the Davidic dynasty and pled for its restoration, but not before singing of God's love and faithfulness:

Your love, GOD, is my song and I'll sing it...

Let the cosmos praise Your wonderful ways...

GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies, who is like You,

powerful and faithful from every angle...

Blessed are the people who know the 
passwords of praise, 

who shout on parade in the bright 
presence of God...

They cannot keep quiet...

All we are and have we owe to GOD!

Beloved, all that we are and all that we have we owe to God.  We cannot keep quiet. Today, let us shout on BIG parade praises to Jesus, our God of angel armies!
