Mar 6 - "Thank God It's Friday!"

Psalm 95
"Come, let us sing to the Lord; let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and raise a loud shout to him with psalms."
********************
If you have a chance today, read the first 7 verses of Psalm 95 (below...the exclamation points are mine...except for the last one). I imagine the Psalmist must have written these verses on a Friday morning. The words are exploding with joy and praise for God...I can almost hear them being shouted from a mountain top!

When we praise God, it is almost impossible to not be filled with joy. We find ourselves smiling, at times on the verge of tears of happiness. That praise can be in song, dance, sport, hard work, a fervent hug, a passionate kiss...anything we do, that when we do it, we are recognizing the full potential of our being.

So, today, shout it out!!! Thank God!!! It's Friday!!!

Psalm 95: 1-7
Come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation!!!
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving;
and raise a loud shout to him with psalms!!!

For the Lord is a great God!!!
and a great King above all gods!!!
In his hand are the caverns of the earth;
and the heights of the hills are his also.

The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands have molded the dry land.
Come, let us bow down and bend the knee,
and kneel before the Lord our Maker.

For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep of his hand.

Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice!
