—Psalm 47
by: Ashea West.
You might be familiar with the worship song that proclaims, “Sing praises unto God sing praises. Sing praises with understanding.” I think, as I read this psalm, “Why do we worship God?” God caused nations and people to be subdued under Israel. They were also praising Him because He had chosen them to receive the inheritance of Jacob. When we understand the power of God and the mercies we have been granted, we cannot help but sing His praise. These praises had understanding behind them, and it makes a difference when we praise with understanding. Why are you praising God today?
