Reflecting God - Embrace Holy Living - WordAction - The Global Nazarene Publishing House in Kansas City, Missouri, United States - The Foundry Publishing House of The Global Church of the Nazarene "The Generational Heart" by Norma Lee Hyde for Sunday, 2 July 2017 - Psalm 33:1 Rejoice in Adonai, you righteous!
Praise is well-suited to the upright.
2 Give thanks to Adonai with the lyre,
sing praises to him with a ten-stringed harp.
3 Sing to him a new song,
make music at your best among shouts of joy.
4 For the word of Adonai is true,
and all his work is trustworthy.
5 He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the grace of Adonai.
6 By the word of Adonai the heavens were made,
and their whole host by a breath from his mouth.
7 He collects the sea waters together in a heap;
he puts the deeps in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear Adonai!
Let all living in the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spoke, and there it was;
he commanded, and there it stood.
10 Adonai brings to nothing the plans of nations,
he foils the plans of the peoples.
11 But the counsel of Adonai stands forever,
his heart’s plans are for all generations.
12 How blessed is the nation whose God is Adonai,
the people he chose as his heritage!
13 Adonai looks out from heaven;
he sees every human being;
14 from the place where he lives
he watches everyone living on earth,
15 he who fashioned the hearts of them all
and understands all they do.

Dorothea was her name. Blinded from childhood, she was then living in a less than perfect place. She often found herself neglected in her old age. Although she could be cranky at times, who could blame her? Still, there was a joy unspeakable in her heart.
On an incredibly hot day I found her sitting under a skimpy pepper tree in a metal chair. She was singing and clapping her hands in rhythm. What was she singing? “I’m so happy! I’m so happy, happy, happy, happy! for Jesus is a friend of mine!” Dorothea had a heart of thankfulness!
The writer of Psalm 33 is anonymous but the intent of his heart is to call God’s people, Israel, to praise the Lord for His righteous acts in creation, His sovereign work of creation, His care of creation, and a concluding affirmation of confidence in God’s plans for His creation.
God finds our praise for Him, His Son, His creation, and His many blessings, to be a beautiful sound in His ears. When you awaken each morning, praise Him! Throughout the day and into the evening, praise Him! This is a gift that can be passed on from generation to generation.
"Let All the People Praise Him" by Lelia N. Morris

Thought for Today:
Now to him who by his power working in us is able to do far beyond anything we can ask or imagine, 21 to him be glory in the Messianic Community and in the Messiah Yeshua from generation to generation forever. Amen.[Ephesians 3:20-21].
